Keyboard and touchpad lost after sleep

I still have Mojave on my 13’ MacBook Air. Same issue. After sleep the trackpad and cursor do not respond at all. I’m constantly rebooting my MacBook. Just mentioning this because people have said that it is just with Catalina however I am here to tell you that my mojave is Jank too

I had the same problem, but in my case i was able to workaround it.

It has not happened again.

I simple went into the Energy saver setting menu and deactivated

put hard disks to sleep when possible

I have an SSD so it should be indiferent, this option is more for mechanical harddrives anyway.

have same issue on my mbp mid 2012 with catalina, this happens just when awake... somethimes need a minute to keyboard and touchpad works again, sometimes never work... need to turn off and turn on again... i'm using safe sleep because (another issue i had) is if put to sleep and it is ac connected, at any random moment at night it wake up and never sleep again due the energy config i had that when in ac, never sleeps.... really a big annoying problem that never had with my old window notebook....

mine does that as well, but it is not a Catalina upgrade, it is a NEW 16" MBP running Catalina (of course). I notice that if you wait for a long time (varies) it will finally connects to the KB/M but not after posting a "no bluetooth keyboard found" warning pop-up.

on a side note, it is very frustrating that I cannot boot my new MBP with my slightly older OS. it certainly is worth mentioning that Apple could fix this easily.

Yes, please. Everyone following this topic and having the same issue - please report to Apple. I did few months ago. I think it will not be a priority for them until more people will submit the bug.

Please use this link:

https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/

This is Apple’s official platform for submitting bugs.

Same problem here. 2017 MacBook Pro 13" non touchbar on Catalina. Recently updated to Catalina and started getting these issues. Y usb keyboard works fine but the builtin keyboard and trackpad stop working. I believe this can be fixed easily by a software upgrade. @apple do something.

My MacBook Pro 16 inch also have this issue. It takes long time until Bluetooth Keyboard Setup Window open up.

All I do to solve is keep touch on power on/finger scan button for a while. If do not touch, it is still not awake until power off and turn on again.

I have this exact same issue on my Macbook "Pro" 2018 touchbar with the latest Catalina version. I just reinstalled the OS and didn't even installed any program or application. After a few hours, the problem appeared again. Can't believe that a 3000$ laptop is having this kind of issues!! Already filled up the feedback report and I'm going to publish this on social media. Let's see if that makes Apple react.

Yeah, I mentioned that I already filled the report through that link. We really have to make ourselves heard, we are not paying this kind of money for such bad quality. Already have twitted about it, maybe you can do it too. Hope we can do something. Regards!

I haven't had the issue for a couple of days. Although my laptop seems to be suffering from nightly rebooting errors.

Is it software that we all share? I mean nonapp store stuff that is causing it? I am using an airbook 2020 i5 and a macbook pro 16 2019. ONly using one blue tooth device (Jabra MOVE v2.5.0 headset)

I have the following installed that might be non-app store (actually some are):

Zoom

One of these perhaps?

Oh, in the feedback area. I was referring to this discussion. Hmm. I have no idea how that info would be accurate. They'd have to parse everyone's comments on the feedback form to match them all up because there's no option for "trackpad delay after sleeping" option on the drop-down. And I'm sure they aren't doing that. Not sure why they even post that. I've submitted it twice now, as I'm sure many others have, but I bet they'd never tell us how many reports there are. I did call in to Apple on my new MacBook for another issue, and brought it up with them. The agent was aware of it but couldn't provide anything further. That acknowledgement is good, in that it at least means Apple knows about it internally to the point of confirming the issue. It not being fixed in the recent beta updates is very disappointing, though.

Yes, I did. Let's hope they will allocate their precious attention to this "more than 10" issue. ;) Also, tried the most peculiar solution in another thread by turning off ipv6 in the Wi-Fi setting, doesn't resolve the issue completely, but it seems to be appearing less often.

Has anyone else noticed a difference between staying in "clamshell" (i.e. desktop mode) versus traditional laptop mode? I have mine hooked up to external monitors with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The Thunderbolt Display I'm using has an ethernet port, so I'm not using Wifi for network access. I have never had a delay waking from sleep that way; only when I'm detached and open the clamshell. I don't understand why that would be unless it's 100% an issue with the Wifi. I'm going to use my Wifi instead of ethernet in this mode for a few days and see what results I get, but curious if others have any insight. Thanks.

Ya - ok - but this wasn't a thing on my old 2016 macbook 15 inch that kept falling apart. I am trying to think of what I do differently... random things I may have changed, like hotcorners, or like I now have my wallpaper to change up every 30 minutes. I mean... could it be something weird like that?

I don’t have VPN. Tried with clean install. Had this problem too. I don’t think it’s because of any 3rd party software. The only thing that eliminates this issue completely is turning off WiFi. So it seems it is a bug in WiFi code of macOS.
