I was having this problem on a 15" MBP 2019 with the Pro Vega 20, then again on the 16" 2019 MBP with the 8GB Radeon I swapped it for.
Basically, your Catalina install comes with a bunch of extensions for running RAID hard drives (most users won't ever do this). Something about at least one of them is broken. I haven't worked out exactly which ones cause the problem, but they can all be safely removed if you don't use RAID HDDs.
They can be found in MacintoshHD>Library>Extensions. Make sure you're looking the right right Library folder, you want the one on in Macintosh HD, NOT the one under your username. I made a backup of them just in case, then cleared out the following .kext files:
ACS6x
ArcMSR
ATTOCelerityFC8
ATTOExpressSASHBA2
ATTOExpressSASRAID2
CalDigitHDProDrv
HighPointIOP
HighPointRR
PromiseSTEX
SoftRAID
Since I was on a very fresh install, I expect these are all the ones which come with Catalina as standard. My machine has since been waking from sleep successfully and quickly every time, even with multiple displays and USB-C devices plugged in.
Same on my brand new 16" MacBook Pro.... Pretty much on every sleep. I hate Catalina! The worst software from Apple ever... I also have this problem = And after having spend since November with Apple support, and countless Tests, they sent me to the Genious Bar - not so genious, as it happens on all my macs that run catalina, and covid 19 has genious bars closed... https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250726535
Same issue. Just got a brand new MBP. My old laptop was not running Catalina and had no issues. This one came with it of course. It crashes on every sleep. Disappointed Apple to see that this issue has been going on for so long with no fix. These things cost way too much $$$ to have issues like this out of the box.
This is happening on my brand new MacBook Pro 16", which came with Catalina pre-installed. Crashes every single time on wakeup and several times a day at random for no obvious reason. I've tried running only Apple apps and the same happens, so that rules out third party s/w issues. There are no peripherals attached, so it isn't that either. Very frustrating, and making me regret buying a new PB that can't be downgraded to Mojave. Come on Apple: up your game!
Catalina 10.15.4 crashing daily
I am so pleased that I am not the only one with this issue.
Why has Apple not fixed this as it has been known since late 2019?
I have kept my latest reports dated 290420 and 300420, if they wish to see them. However the reports are sent to Apple automatically so no action from them is inexcusable.
Same issues – Catalina 10.15.4
Crashes every night while asleep.
I wake up to a login screen on my Mid-2015 MBP (which was serviced less than a year ago to replace the malfunctioning/fire-prone battery)
Just hoping this isn't damaging my files with each random restart.
That's exactly how my problems started happening, they replaced the battery and shortly after my machine became useless. They are very nice when you call them, they tried reaching drive, reinstalling, but nothing helped, my machine can only boot in safe mode, regular not hangs half way trough bootup screen/progress
I have a brand new iMac running macOS Catalina v. 10.15.4. Since I am having to reboot at least 2-3 times per week because of sleep/wake-up problems, I was disturbed to find this thread going back to Fall 2019. Surely Apple must recognize by now that something is amiss! Is there hope the problem will be addressed any time soon?
Same here, did not happened before Catalina, and I suspect that after installed Kaspersky Endpoint Security due to company policy, it have influenced slightly.
Im on:
macOS Catalina 10.15.4 (19E287)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
Processor 2,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB
This happens to me too on a brand new top of the line Macbook Pro 16". I just started noticing it since I started using an external monitor. It seems to do with having stuff plugged in. Catalina has really been a huge disappointment in terms of stability.
I've sent multiple reports to Apple. How are they not investigating and fixing this? Incredibly disappointed for a $5000 computer.
Has anyone tried the 10.15.6 update? Does it help?
I'm still using my 10.15.3 rolled-back version which had been absolutely fine with no crashes for weeks now. So I'm reluctant to update if things will start crashing again. However, I will need to at some point so I can access Photos again!
Thanks
Ah, that's great news for you guys. I have been reading in other places that some people are still having issues.
I'll think I'll still wait a little longer to see how others are doing. Fingers crossed its fixed it for most people.
My system is fixed.
I am using 10.15.5 and my MBP16 has become perfectly stable. I've been doing photo work again and no problems with it at all. I've had 3-4 weeks without an issue. If you review my May 22, 2020 post above you will see the steps I used to gain stability before the 10.15.5 update. When it was released, 10.15.5 installed without issue and has been solid since day one.
But I don't have this file in the folder. I thought 10.15.1 could solve this problem, but it did't. I have to wait for the next version and tolerant this crash? Sad.....
Same with My New Mac Pro 2019
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)
I have this exact issue. Wasn't happening before Catalina. Isn't happening on my 2017 MBP though but I don't use that box as much as I need my iMac.
