I üst used SilentKnight, and it found a bunch of updates that I needed, even though I regularly perform maintenance. Here's the link:

Just set System preferences to automatic updates to avoid that problem.

You can do that, but be careful not to allow ALL updates, unless you are up for nasty OS surprises: just allow security updates. However, Silent Knight is much better than using the option in System prefs to install security updates. I highly recommend it.

My life goes smoothly and in regular intervals

Model,

I'll echo what Ka Jowct said and actually go a step further. The advice to allow automatic updates is potentially disastrous. You have to be very careful when using automatic updates. I tell people _not_ to allow automatic updates and always install them manually. And install them after backing up.

I've experienced issues due to update. Even security updates. I know others who've experienced problems with updates, too. These days, I wouldn't recommend anyone use the automatic update system.

Backup. Install update. If all is good, continue on.

This is some of what it shows:


macOS Version 10.12.6 (Build 16G2136)
Latest updates installed:
XProtect 2017-06-26 10:23:38 +0000 : 1.0
Mac model Macmini6,2
EFI version found 280.0.0.0.0; expected 286.0.0.0.0
EFI firmware updates no longer supported.
X XProtect 2104 should be 2133
X Gatekeeper 94 should be 181
X MRT 1.18 should be 1.68
No TCC in this version of macOS
KEXT 12.5.0 should be 12.5.0
Software Update Tool


Then there's an Install all updates button.

I assume my out of date stuff is because I'm behind on OSs.

What does the button do, actually?

I'm not going to be updating any time soon.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Agree with Robert M. I've never allowed automatic updates on any device
I've owned, even my "smart TVs".
Most recent example, my iPad & iPhone skipped that clusterf#@k of iOS 14.0.
