Apple has released the latest version of its operating system, macOS 26.5, which addresses numerous issues impacting managed Macs. The update was rolled out earlier this week, alongside detailed release notes that highlight various security fixes.
Notable fixes include resolving unexpected restarts on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models equipped with M5 silicon. Additionally, problems related to device management service enrollments and login errors with smart cards have been corrected. Users can now expect improved functionality when using X11 apps with XQuartz as well.
Other enhancements involve the SMB client performing DNS SRV lookups when not bound to Active Directory, which aids in finding domain controllers. For organizations managing Macs, further details on software deployment can be accessed through Apple’s support resources.
