Keyboard and touchpad lost after sleep

Don’t reinstall. It will not change anything. Tried that few weeks ago. Apple Support told me that time that they don’t know about the issue. But now? Still don’t know? I have submitted the bug long time ago. No answer. Called Apple Support many times. No solution.

I get the bluetooth keyboard message as well. Strange...I'm on a Laptop and Apple tells me there is no Keyboard installed :)

But after 30 seconds it disappears and I can continue working. The trackpad comes to life when the keyboard is recognized.

When mine goes to sleep, nothing works. The screen is black, the keyboard doesn't work, the mouse doesn't work, shutting the lid and opening it again doesn't work, none of the icons work...Well, you get it. I literally have to do a hard reboot to use it again. I've had it one week, and it's super annoying. If I close all my running programs whenever I get up, like to answer the door, it continues to work.

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.

I somehow grabbed a bad link and now I can't edit or delete. The proper feedback link is:

https://www.apple.com/feedback/macbook.html

Please use that link to let Apple know how completely unacceptable this is, if you haven't already.

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.

But another thing worth pointing is that this problem doesn’t happen with all WiFi networks. At least in my case. I guess there is some bug that in some cases, with some networks makes the keyboard not responding. I don’t know if it’s related to router or internet provider. I have changed my ASUS router lately to DECO mesh and still have this problem. I didn’t have it with some WiFis in one supermarket.

Also having this issue. Started in the last few weeks. Running 10.15.4.

I'm using xcode and the ios simulator. Someone else said they were using VM ware, may have something to do with virtual sims.

Anyway, defintiley a bug. Hopefuly a fix is in soon.

For about a week I haven't had the spinning wheel or any significant delay after waking up. As I said before, I deleted a song I had purchased from the iTunes Store, deauthorized all devices from iTunes and authorized only the ones I'm currently using

I do have vpn

I also have intermittent issues with my kbm (well trackpad...) getting lost upon waking.

the disconnect mostly occurs when the vpn is having difficulty reconnecting upon waking. BUT I also have had this issue when the vpn is not running (app closed) or disconnected (app running but not actively trying to establish/maintain a connection).

I have started having this issue today for the first time on my MBP 2018 running Catalina 10.15.5. Bluetooth is OFF, no external accessories connected.

Did not experience it before applying latest updates. It's driving me crazy!

The positive thing is that after the Bluetooth dialog related to missing keyboard appears and disappears, the built-in trackpad and keyboard restart functioning. Strange as ****.

I also have this issue on a brand new Macbook Pro 16" running 10.15.5. Wakes from sleep and get a message telling me there is no keyboard connected. Seems to be an issue where it can't connect to the WiFi network it was connected too when it was put to sleep.

Pretty annoyed to have paid £2,500 for a laptop which doesn't work properly.

hahaha. well said. waste your time with endless reboots, disk repair or any basic useless tips. this will not solve any issues. as told apple is aware. a future firmware update may solve the t2 chip issues. waiting for 9 months now.

He's a weird thing I've noticed too; I have an external bluetooth keyboard, and that works more quickly when the problem occurs, sometimes my primary keyboard doesn't come back on at all. I just moved location, and now I have a bad wifi signal here, and I experience this more frequently. The weird thing was that I noticed on my 13" MBP, the Touch Bar is working fine; but the main keyboard and touchpad do not.
