Macbook Pro 2020 screen glitches when shutting down

I have bought a new macbook pro one month ago, and the screen makes this strange glitch when shutting down, which really concerns me, but it doesn't really mess with the macbook while normal working...it only happens the fraction of second before the computer completely shuts down. I have changed my macbook for the 2nd time now and this problem always comes with the new mac. Do you know what is this problem about? It is really seems like a quality/hardware question

There have been some random reports of that issue. None have turned into anything of substance.


What you are likely seeing is poor communication between programming groups, essentially "somebody forgot to blank the screen while we shut down." This is likely very annoying for the programming teams as well, and is likely to be fixed in an upcoming release..


Anything odd that happens on the screen after you choose the Shutdown command is just a side effect, as long as your computer does proceed to shut down.

I would not be concerned about screen artifacts in the shutdown process.

Thank you, hopefully they will fix this somehow, because it really is bothering me that such an expensive cumputer arrives to me with the SAME EQUAL bug/error twice. It is quite unacceptable. Next week I will be receiving the 3rd macbook (exchanged because of this), and if it has the same issue, I might try to understand if it actually is from catalina and exchange it if needed (AGAIN, god hoping not at all). I will not really be accepting this error anyway.


But thank you, It was really really helpful.
