OS X 10.11.4: Mac users continue to report system freeze

Apple released OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan in late March. The latest software release (stable) intended for Mac users has brought with it not only a discrete series of refinements in performance and new features (see. Previous article), but also a bit 'of trouble for those who use it with a laptop MacBook, random blocks of the operating system that, in a few weeks away from the distribution of the update of OS X, continue to persist and to be reported by users.

The first reports about it were spread by users just days after the release (see, for example, the topic published in the official support forum - HERE and HERE), but Apple does not seem to have found yet a final solution, as evidenced by recent reports continue to highlight the above-mentioned system freeze. A re-raise the case is the site MacRumors, in light of new reports received by users.

Between laptops affected by this issue include the MacBook Pro 15 "(Mid 2015) and 13" (Early 2015), but the problem is obviously software nature and not due to a single model. Among the possible causes of a bug Intel Graphics driver, but, as mentioned, this is mere conjecture unsupported by official intervention on the part of the Cuperino home.

A problem undoubtedly annoying, because the system crash is almost complete: the freeze prevents the interaction with the interface, the mouse pointer does not respond to commands and, in models where it is present, the Force Touch stops working. It is also a completely random blocks that arise deploying different from Chrome apps to Photoshop.


Signals are reassuring in part by the new release of the operating system currently in development: while the problem is still present with the first public beta of OS X 10.11.5, a user reports that the blocks are no longer present with OS X 10.11 .5 beta 4 (the finding intervenes after a test period of about a week, using the Mac for 10-12 hours per day).

It says that these empirical findings that have, as such, an inevitable margin of error, and that Apple has not yet expressed on point with an official update for those who do not use a beta version of the operating system. Pending a possible adjustment by Apple, the only viable solution seems to be to downgrade to the previous version 10.11.3.
