Catalina 10.15.4 Issues

After upgrading to Catalina 10.15.4 my iMac crashed 4 times. Then it crashes at least once per day.. Mouse 2 becomes non responsive. Never happened before the update. Others are having the same/similar issues as I searched the web. What to do? Wait for Catalina 10.15.4.1?

iMac 21.5" 4K, macOS 10.15

There is one obvious issue and another possible issue. You have installed CleanMyMac, which is considered malware by experienced users. Please locate the instructions to uninstall it and then please uninstall. Mac OS does not need or benefit from any antivirus, cleaning or any other third party "maintenance" apps. If simply kept up to date it will run well for users for years. It is when users begin tampering by adding these "maintenance" apps that Mac OS becomes slow, unstable and appear buggy.


In addition your report indicates you may have failing hardware and has had many Kernel Panics I would recommend taking it to your local independent Apple Authorized Service Provider and have it checked out.


You have bogged down your computer by adding a lot of third party junk ware. You may be best served by doing an erase and install and beginning over after having it checked out by the Apple Authorized Service Provider.


Catalina is NOT the problem, it is stable and runs well for most users.

This is my second laptop that got killed by Apple’s IOS update! I updated to Catalina and minutes later my perfectly running computer started to have errors then restart on its own. After that happened four times I closed the laptop to carry it and when I opened it the whole computer will not restart. I’ve been on the phone for two hours and their resolution is for me to pay out of my pocket to bring it in for repairs. Why do we need to pay for their corrupt updates!?
