Still on Sierra. The High Sierra installer has been downloaded without me knowing.. I receive an annoying weekly notification that try to make me install High Sierra. And now all these really concerning bugs too.. it makes it worse Apple..

But with you having enabled "download updates in the background".

Me too. On macOS I like to be one version behind. I still get security updates and I get a "frozen" OS that has been tested by the entire Mac userbase for a year. New features can wait, I choose stability.

It’s great macOS High Sierra uses Metal because my MacBook Pro 2014 is now quiet when before the fan started spinning audibly in idle and annoyingly loud under mild load. On the flipside, WindowServer is unstable and causes freezes if the display resolution is scaled. It also causes freezes after some time when external monitors are plugged in/plugged out. Only a restart helps. If my 15" model weren’t so noisy on Sierra, I’d change back to it.

High Sierra is the first Mac OS update that I haven’t downloaded on the first day. Still on Sierra here.

Oh come on.

Go to Systems Prefs > App Store and tell us what your preferences are set to.

Apple has screwed up big time lately, but "hur-dur, muh mac is doing what it's supposed to do an I'm MAD bout that" isn't part of the problem.

Same here, not in a hurry to update to High Sierra now.
