How to Fix App Store freezes the entire system on Mac OS Catalina
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
- Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
- Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
My setup is ThinkPad T430 (CPU: Intel Core i3 Ivy Bridge, GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000) with OpenCore. The system boots and works fine, graphics work okay, audio works, but when I try opening App Store, the system freezes and requires a reboot to work again. I've seen people having a similar problem online, but I haven't found a working solution yet.
Does anyone else have this problem? What could be causing it? How do I solve it?
