There are widespread complaints about this issue across the Apple Support Community, MacRumors Forums, Reddit, X, and other websites.
In most cases, it appears that affected users received a desktop notification alerting them that macOS Sonoma was an available software update. However, despite dismissing the notification and having automatic updates turned off, affected users said their Mac proceeded to install macOS Sonoma regardless. Apple began showing the notification to users on January 10, according to MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris.
The underlying cause of the issue is unclear, and an Apple spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It is possible to downgrade a Mac to an older macOS version if you created a Time Machine backup for that version, or by using a bootable installer. Always make sure to back up your data before downgrading a Mac.
To review your Mac's update settings, open the System Settings app, click General → Software Update, and click the info symbol next to Automatic Updates.
We will update this report if new information becomes available.
