Yes, thank you! I used the link and uploaded it an it is working. I still have to re-download the vpn and I will be set. Hopefully this will save all of us time and consternation when the rest of the world gets the updated MacOS software.

The release candidate I got last week has been stable (whether it is Gold Medal or not is debatable) but betas I had all summer have been stable and the one I was offered, not a beta, has been very stable. The only problem I had was not to be able to get Malwarbytes to work and reinstall. (I am going out of country soon on vacation and need it to work). I am going to install the current one on my main machine and do not know of any issues that would give me pause, now that the MacOS version is working. I am running betas and then a release candidate on my iPhone and iPad with no issues before or since the upgrade there. However, there are no guarantees! Ask Microsoft and their issues recently.
