It appears that rather than being "the preferred method used by experts" it
is actually only "often better than the incremental update offered by
Software Update."



"Often better" is the reason why experts use it you idiotic dumb***.
The combo update replaces a tremendous number of files in the OS. If
one had a corrupted file it will often fix it because the file will be
overwritten by a pristine file from the combo updater.

Experts use it because it will VERY often fix any problem that exists
without having to result to a complete OS reload.

What a bunch of technical incompetents guys like Wally are.

I was having a problem with setting programs to Open at Login. Somehow the
list became "stuck"... I could not get items added or removed from it. I
did little trouble shooting - basically just trashed the pref file. That
did not work.

I did a standard update. That did not fix it.

I then did a combo update... just to see. That quirk is now gone.

Has anyone ever suggested that the combo update may not be a tool used
effectively to *fix* an actual problem? If so by whom and where?

I never said it was or was not an effective tool for fixing any problem - I
noted a procedure that solved the problem.

There
was some file with some corruption. I have *no* idea what file. Would be
interesting to know but I am happy the problem is solved - now Typinator
opens at log in.


Strange how that problem you had has only now seen the light of day! LOL

What do you mean? Strange that I did not publicly talk about Typinator not
starting on login? How bizarre for someone to not do so, eh? LOL!
