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
I have the same problem...

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.

I am having the exact same problem as well. Even after the update yesterday, I still have the black screen issue.
Same issues and tried most all of the suggested fixes (except for reinstall). MBP late 2014.
This is NOT helpful, does not work. Please mark as NOT SOLVED if possible.
I couldn't agree more until now! please read my next post.
@monawer what did you delete specifically?
What files did you remove? I was poking around in the extensions too, havent found the magic one yet and my log files dont really tell me much for breadcrumbs leading to the solution.
Very helpful
Try and copy them all back in and restart. I bet it will work as it has for some of the rest of us.
What do I do if I don't have an automatic graphics switching option?
The extensions delete did not work for me... still a black screen when sleep mode activated
This worked for me on MBA. Thanks for sharing this fix! Was driving me nuts!
When I tried to remove trigger5coretext it would not let me because it said it was required for MacOS
I deleted all drivers from that folder and from downloads and it works. Even works on my external Samsung monitor. I think I’m finally rid of the black screen. Thank y’all for the solution.
Removing only MCTTrigger2.kext
from /Library/Extensions worked for me. I have a MBP mid 2012.
Thanks for the workaround 👍🏾
