What video player is good for mac? Quicktime still cannot play H265 video.

M-Player X or VLC media player for me.

The installation took about 20 minutes for mine.

2017 27" iMac core i7 with 512GB flash SSD

I don't see any performance degradation nor improvement actually.

Safari feels smoother and more responsive with high Sierra.

Installation went through in about 20 minutes. So far so good, no problems. Hope it stays this way!

I'm using Office for Mac 2011 as well but it works fine with High Sierra.

Odd rite. Im guessing if u use it for basic stuff its ok unless u do all the complex stuff.

Sadly..i had to uninstall High Sierra from both my MBP and iMac (2011) as it lengthened the boot up time significantly..

I just do simple spreadsheets so it's not a big deal, and also use Outlook as my e-mail client.

Only recently I got a message while checking updates saying that Office for Mac 2011 will no longer be updated and suggesting upgrade to Office 365.

Clean install High Sierra on my MacBook Pro 15" 2017. Startup seems slightly longer (need to confirm again) and when I tried to shutdown for the first time, a blank green screen will appear before shutting down completely. Will see if I can replicate the issues when I use it later.

Startup on my 2015 MBP seems to be the same as before - speedy.

So many problems don’t dare to update. Read online bootcamp dies after updated.
Parallel also die unless buy new version.

The loginwindow process crashed few times which seem to cause my login session terminated, i.e. back to login screen, can’t use touchID/Watch unlock
Not sure of the pattern yet. I enable the diagnostic reporting to Apple after 2x...

I’m using 15” TB MBP2016

For this using parallels, u run windows 10 must buy license then outlook also need to buy license. Wanted to use for work but paying xtra for all these turned me off

Need some expert advise. After updating to High Sierra, the time in date and time settings always revert back to the original time, even when the 'Set date and time automatically' is unchecked. Usually I'll always set to to 5mins faster and every time I start up my MBP, it reverts back to the original time.

In Sierra, this doesn't happen. Any issues whatsoever or is it a bug?

You need to reset nvram. Reset smc only if u have trouble with lights or hardware.

Usually ill recommend both..

How do I do that? Will it erase my current settings and storage inside?

My crashing continues. Sigh.

No user data is lost by resetting it.
