Kernel crashes due to Photo application

My Macbook pro is a couple of months old and has max memory and disk storage. My Macbook's kernal crashes a number of times a day as well as waits in inactivity spins a number of times an hour.

The Crash reports all point to the photo library. How do you fix this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Restart your Mac holding Shift to enter Safe Mode. Once up, restart normally and check if it got any better.


Also run First Aid How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility - Apple Support, do it for like 2 or 3 times in a row until you see no errors.


And check if this helps too How to use the Photos Repair Library on your Mac - Apple Support
