OpenCore Legacy: MacBook Pro 9,2 on Sequoia (OCLP) - Root Patching fails and "Tahoe" update is pending

Hi everyone,

I hope you can help me with an issue I’m facing with my MacBook Pro 9,2 (Mid 2012).

I am currently running macOS Sequoia using OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP). Recently, the system has become very slow, and the boot screen/login looks "glitchy" (low resolution/bad graphics), which makes me think the graphics acceleration patches need to be reapplied.

I tried to run the "Post-Install Root Patch" in OCLP to fix this, but it fails and I cannot complete the process.

At the same time, I noticed that the system is pushing an update for macOS Tahoe. I have a few questions regarding this situation:

1. Interference: Could this pending "Tahoe" update (or the downloaded installer file) be interfering with the OCLP patching process?
2. Removal: Is there a safe way to remove/ignore this update notification to see if it clears up the patching issue?
3. Compatibility: Is macOS Tahoe actually supported or recommended for a MacBook Pro 9,2 yet? given the age of the hardware, I'm worried it might be too heavy.

Any advice on how to get my Sequoia installation running smoothly again would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
