Catalina 10.15.6 Still Crashing Kernel Panic

This procedure won't help people who have panics that are caused by *installing* Catalina (there are many of us). There's something common about our systems we haven't found, since most *didn't* have problems start after installing Catalina.

Yeah, I've tried all these as well. My kernel panics happen specifically regarding my peripheral audio interface, and it would seem that any peripheral, including my iPhone, will cause kernel panic. I've gone through these steps with multiple apple care people, and I'm always told that since the peripherals involve 3rd party manufacturers, there is nothing they can do, as if the new OS update has nothing to do with the issues. Frustrating and confusing and destroys work flow.

I installed the complementary patch, and I'm not running any virtualization software on my 2020 MBA.

I'm using the Apple OEM USB-C to HDMI adapter. After 30 mns of usage, when I turn off the MBA. The MBA will always reset. When I looked for the reason of the crash: Kernel panic.

I followed and called so many times apple support line. They gave me all sorts of explanations.

The best one was: "why do you use a monitor when you are using a laptop?" I'm not joking here. I nicely said to the lady that I will look in the Apple Forum for a solution.

I did a clean reinstall, waited patiently for the new updates. As soon as a new updates came, installed it and did a clean reinstall after. Same issue with the Kernel Panic.

Like I mentioned, I did install the complementary update and same issue. So I did a clean reinstall, same issue with the Kernel panic.

I was running for my business 6x 2020 MBPs and 8x 2020 MBAs. The employees complained. We are not running virtual machines on our laptops, just Apple with the office 365 and some adobe apps.

Right now I just have the MBA left and I moved the rest of my team to an other platform to work. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with all those 2020 MBP and MBA?

this is why...

Apple keeps taking my posts down about this SAME issue because they "aren't productive." Yeah, my computer crashes every single day, there is no solution, no one has any ideas, many people having the same issue. Sorry I can't be "productive" in my posts.

From this I would deduce there are far more people with this issue than meets the eye.

Welcome to the club!

I have tested all the suggestions provided in the forum. Spent hours reinstalling MacOS on my 2020 MBA. I still face the same issue as soon as I plug the Apple OEM micro USB to HDMI adapter. As soon as I try to shutdown the MBA it resets in a loop.

And always the same kernel panic.

Some people say they are not experiencing any more issues. For me it is still the same.

After of all this I came to the same conclusion. Still keeping one MBA 2020 to see if this issue will be fixed on day. So far it is not.

As I have said above, the update kill the MBP and it was sent to Apple labs.

I must say, this experience maid me appreciate Windows so much. This will be the last time that I will buy any of Apple products. They are not taking any responsibility to address very bad issues.

The funny thing is that I have a replacement MBP and this one is not Crashing with Kernel Panic, but the wifi is not connecting after sleep. Even after 10.15.7. Tried every suggestion online, but still the issue is not going away (like any other issue that Apple give us).

So, lets hope that this will be good on return and then I will sell it :) and buy me a non issue PC with Windows on it!

I have a replacement MBP as mine was killed by 10.15.06 and the replacement has an issue with the wifi.

It seams to me that Apple are not doing any QA and I feel that I wish I have never bought this MBP...

It is prohibitively difficult to move back to Mojave. This update has permanently unchecked my "auto update" button.

It doesn't appear that pjm2400 is running any virtualization software.

Yes I agree. I still not bwing able to figure out what is going on with my 2020 MBA. Class action sounds right. I decided two months ago use you are last recommendation.

Hi, I updated my Macbook to version 10.15.6 three days ago and since then I have been experiencing the kernel panic issue. In some cases, the laptop will crash with no apps running at all. Even if the Mac is in sleep mode and nothing is running, when I return to it, I see that the system restarted as it was having the kernel panic issue. I only updated it 3 days ago to V10.15.6.

Not joking, this makes me want to sell it and move on.

I have reinstalled the OS and still have the issue on a clean install! So for sure it is that ridiculous update that is killing the Macbook and I don't see any update on this from Apple.

I have mac pro 16"
