As you all know I never was able to finish update from 10.14.3 > 10.14.4.
I was stuck on this or kext stall AppleACPICPU

So i just tried the kext folders from @Leesureone, no luck.
I also tried the kext folder of https://github.com/sarkrui/NUC8i7BEH-Hackintosh-Build, no luck at first.
But: I downgraded from BIOS v66 to v56 and now I'm able to watch my NUCintosh finishing the update, about 8 minutes remaining.

7. follow the instructions to turn off
8. turn on, enter bios F2
9. load defaults F9
10. set BIOS settings for macOS
- Boot -> Boot Configuration, disable "**Network Boot**"
- Power -> Secondary Power Settings, "**Wake on LAN from S4/S5**", set to "**Stay Off**"
- Boot -> Secure Boot, disable "**Secure Boot**"
- Devices -> OnBoard Devices, disable "**Bluetooth**" (macOS is not compatible well with Intel Wi-Fi/Bluetooth)
While I write this the update finished and I'm able to login again

spoken about Bios updates for the NUC8I7BEH,NUC8I5BEH and NUC8I3BEH i see that intel has removed the las 2 versions of the bios updates ( 0064 and 0066 ) with the following reason:
Detailed Description
BIOS version 0064 has been removed from Download Center for technical reasons.
If you previously downloaded and installed this version and have questions, please contact Intel Customer Support.
Please check Download Center for new BIOS releases on a regular basis.
The current "latest" . version is now 0051 version 0056 cannot be found in their site , does anyone know why ?
i think that i will stick with version 51 for a while but i still think that it is a strange thing that 2 versions in a row have been removed due to technical reasons .
i found the info here
