Hi all, so we’ve had multiple Macs (all M1 or newer) that have had Tahoe as an update and afterwards the keyboard is unresponsive - built in or external USB keyboard.  All you get is the ding noise and from reading, this can be an issue for some.   Also seems there is no way to block the installer, just defer is that correct?

Well for now I’m trying to see if there is a solid workaround to fix the issue without a reinstall but so far came across nothing that worked for me :(  

Anyone that knows about this issue, it would be great to get your input.

Zap PRAM?

Are you restricting the installer via Restricted Software?

Old example...

I am but it doesnt seem to work for it like previous OS versions unfortunately.  Also I thought with the Apple Silicon Mac there was no more Zapping of the PRAM.  Maybe I’m wrong on that :)

Ah yeah. We still have Intel boxes here, sadly.

Ah ok makes sense :)   I think we’ve gotten rid of most of ours.
