black screen in Catalina

I'm suffering from a black screen on my MacBook Pro after every sleep event.

Only way out is to hit the off button and restart every single time.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks

This appears to work as a solution.


This was NOT my idea, but from another Black Screen thread but I can't get the link thread to work.


Restart your computers in SAFE MODE (hold down the shift key during the reboot)

You will know if you have correctly entered SAFE mode because it appears in RED in the menu bar


In SAFE MODE my laptop returned to normal Wake / Sleep behaviour including closing and opening the lid.


Then RESTART as normal (literally make no other change, just restart SAFE restart normal) and it seems to be FIXED !!!

  • There is no explanation for why this makes a difference it just works.
