My 2018 MBP keeps having a kernel panic every time it starts the screen saver. It reboots itself and notifies me that it recovered from a serious error. Anyone else having the same problem? If so, how did you fix it?
MacBook Pro
Same problem occurred on my iMac. I solved by getting rid of the googlesoftwareupdate that was occurring constantly and hanging up my system, after that it has been running fine. Here is the information I found to do so.
Good luck.
Or not. I just had another Kernel Panic...
How do you do that?
You mean the dock icon animations?
Yes, animation dock bar icons
kernel panic occurred at the time of application switching bash terminal, GarageBand
@Olivier193 as you've unloaded AppleUSBCardReader kernel extension, how do you access your USB peripherals? Thanks
I tried the kext unload using Kext Wizard yesterday. Woke up this morning and the Mac had rebooted once again. I really hope they fix this mess in the next update
Thanks for the tip. I just turned it off as well as I don't use an other apple device but the MacBook. Let's see how things go
Thanks man. That explains why my flash drives still work. It's been very long I used the SD card reader on my system
I have Norton for Mac installed and this has kernel extensions. Could this be what is causing these kernel panics? I suppose that would make it a Norton, not Apple, problem.
I use Kaspersky Internet Security though
I didn’t reply to you, though.
kaspersky is also useless malware.

Add me to the list. Installed Catalina last week, I have had these kernel panic crashes a couple times a day since then. Sometimes when screensaver starts, sometimes when I'm doing other stuff on the 15" MBP 2016. I just uninstalled all the apps that no longer work with Catalina, maybe that will help. Maybe a system software update will fix.
Unrelated issue, as you can see the spacebar randomly double-types on laptop keyboard, also a new problem but pre-Catalina. These butterfly keyboards are not very good.
Anyone who has their computer set up to send crash/diagnostic reports to Apple doesn't need to post them here IMO. Apple gets them and hopefully if they get enough of them, there will be a fix for this.
Please DO NOT tell people not to reply with requested diagnostics. That is totally not cool!
The vast majority of kernel panics are due to incompatible 3rd party kernel extensions and hardware failures. Apple isn't going to lift a finger to solve either one. All that will happen is that the OP will sit on their hands and do nothing while panics continue to pile up and/or their warranty expires.
