I cannot run Apple Diagnostics after updating to macOS Big Sur.

After I updated to macOS Big Sur, when I rebooted and held down the D key, my MacBook would automatically restart. After, it would bootup to Internet Recovery. I also tried this on another Mac running Big Sur, same thing.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

The Apple docs are out of date.


Mac Rumors has a great summary including instructions for new M1 Macs:

What issue are you having independent of this...(?) This may well be all done through Interent Recovery—see the Utilities menu

Did you try Option key on boot to reveal the Startup manager— does this allow you to choose the local Recovery?
