MacBook Pro 16 2019 10.15.4 Kernel Panic / Reboot When Plugged In -- Help!

After leaving laptop for some time (mostly lid closed, but sometimes lid open asleep with and without external display), it has been rebooted and shows the kernel panic form to submit to Apple. Only happening after update to

And, you still have third-party kernel extensions loading.

The two primary causes of kernel panics are hardware faults and third-party kernel extensions. Removing the latter is the easiest to rule out.

If it still panics without any third-party kernel panics, then the high likelihood is some hardware fault.

However, Apple may have release bad GPU kernel extensions with this update, so that also could be a cause. That is almost unheard of, though.

I have the same model laptop and am experiencing the same issues as you've described ever since updating to 10.15.4.

My MBP is connected to multiple external monitors and lid is closed. When I use the MBP without the external monitors everything seems to be fine.

Before updating to 10.15.4 I never had any similair problems.

Same here. Brand new Macbook Pro 16'' (1 week old). After updating to Catalina 10.15.4 only when plugged in. Found another thread on the topic here https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/new-macbook-kernel-panics.2228308/. Still no solution, just a workaround (look at one of the last comments).

Let's wait for an update, hope that Apple Support knows about the issue.

Well that isn’t ideal. I’m a web developer and I require VirtualBox for my local instance.

Maybe Oracle will fix their software. They are usually pretty good about creating a kernel extension that doesn't crash the OS, but they have had a few that fail

I have the same problem with the same Mac & same os x version. As soon as the MBP goes to sleep for too long... it crashes.

Notice that I don't have VirtualBox installed (but I do have parallels, even if it doesn't seem to load a kext).

I checked my loaded kernel extensions and the only ones not "apple related" are Little Snitch & Fuse.

This bug is very frustrating.

This bug is very frustrating.

Both of those have caused panics before. Little Snitch quite a bit better, on par with VirtualBox, but still has released some versions that broke with OS updates.

Little Snitch has been updated recently (version 4.5). There is no mention of this problem in the changelog (https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/releasenotes.html) but who knows...

I'll see tomorrow morning if it has crash again and let you know.

I am having the same problem. Tried the same thiings, made no difference. Although my MacBook air 11 inch, which has 15.3 does not seem to have this. So is it a 15.4 problem? Not linked to any particular app - closed them all down before sleep and closing laptop lid. Open it up and sometimes error message or just chimes to restart...

I have just reported the issue. They haven't even added version 10.15.4 as an option for the bug report...

There were several articles on iFun (https://www.ifun.de/macos-catalina-10-15-4-abstuerze-im-ruhezustand-wegen-power-nap-152078/), the largest Apple related news platform in Germany. Dozens of people discuss that error there.

I would still suggest that you all fill out the feedback form. Has anyone tried if 10.15.5 beta1 fixes the issue?

Early night I leave my MacBook Pro connected to power and let it auto-sleep. In the morning I'm able to wake and use it like normal.

After 10.15.4 I have the same issue... I come back to my MacBook to find that it has crashed and shut down. When it boots back up it lets me know that it crashed.

I have the same issue. Just got a new 16" MacBook Pro. When plugged in over night at some time it restarts. Same error every time.

I hit this issue on a brand new MacBook Pro 16". After I upgraded to 10.15.4 the machine would restart after sleeping while plugged into power. Solved by disabling "power nap" under "Energy Settings" in System Preferences.

Not sure how Apple ended up shipping such an obvious bug...

I can confirm, after doing every type of troubleshooting, that turning off "Power Nap" in the settings will allow this issue to stop. This is a temporary work-around until Apple releases a new update to fix this.
