Ever since I updated to 12.2 on my 2018 Mac mini and I keep getting Kernel panics, and restarting.
I've tried everything I can think of, reseting PRAM, reinstalling Monterey 12.2
I've even wiped the hard drive and installed Monterey 12.2 clean
I'm still getting kernel panics
Mac mini, macOS 10.13
I've attempted another clean re-install of Monterey 12.2
Booted from usb, wiped the hard drive and reinstalled Monterey 12.2
I've restored nothing at all, its at factory settings with just the basic apps. Its just as if I've just brought a brand new computer.
All Ive done is create my account
Still crashed due to a kernel panic
The plot is thickening!
Now my work-supplied Mac mini 2018 (yes, it's the same model as my personal machine) is also crashing after I walk away from it.
The twist is that this machine is running 12.1!
The only thing that has changed was that I paired my old first-generation Magic Trackpad to this machine, since my wired mouse was causing crashes on my personal box. (These computers use the same peripherals and I flip between them using the built-in KVM switch in my NEC display.)
I have saved the diagnostic report, but essentially it says kernel_task caused the panic.
I have an M1 MacBook Air that is also still on 12.1, behaves as it should, even with Bluetooth devices paired to it (which is most frequently a pair of AirPods Max).
Hey there i watched a video on this it seems that all intel based macs face this problem on Monterey and even on Big Sur. The best version is Catalina as it came before the M1 and is completely based on x86

I guess it is quite odd then that I have an Intel MBP that doesn’t panic. It’s a 2018, so came with a later version of High Sierra. Never panicked on HS, Catalina, or Big Sur, either. I rarely have anything connected to it, though. I experimented with an external SSD used for an encrypted backup, so it was connected through some sleep/wake cycles.
For what it's worth, I installed 12.2.1 after I saw this post 6 days ago and I believed it solved my issues. I was using a usb keyboard and my new Magic Mouse all week without any restarts or kernel panics until today because...I reconnected my old gen 3 wireless keyboard yesterday... My issue appears to be with the bluetooth/wireless keyboard. I just disconnected it again and plugged the usb keyboard back in. I assume my issues will disappear again, but will report back if they do not. Curious if those of you that are still having issues are using the same older Apple wireless keyboard or even any wireless keyboard? If so, have you tried going in to your bluetooth settings, disconnecting your keyboard, and using a usb keyboard?
I have the same Kernel Panic problem with my 2016 MacBook Pro, tried everything stated and to no prevail. I have now reverted to a clean install of Big Sur and so far no problems, so I’ll stick to that OS for a while longer I think..

The report I got last time my Mac restarted:

Others have reported kernel panics but not all might have the same cause.
For yours,
"element modified after free" that could be an issue within memory related to the items below
"Panicked task 0xffffff99d3159000: 10 threads: pid 83: fseventsd"
"last started kext at 463616712425: @filesystems.exfat 1.4 (addr 0xffffff7fb1b08000, size 53248)
last stopped kext at 924967740154: >!AThunderboltEDMSink 5.0.3 (addr 0xffffff7fb142e000, size 32768)"
fseventsd is used to track file changes, e.g. for snapshots or Time Machine, and there is also a reference to Thunderbolt and exfat. Did you have an external drive (backup or other) attached when the crash occurred? Have you tried disconnecting all external drives to see if those are related? Your Etrecheck shows multiple external drives, one appears to be USB 2 (480 Mb/s) and possibly in a Windows format? Are you using a dock or hub? Try disconnecting all hubs and external drives and see if kernel panics stop. If they do stop, that provides you clues to narrow it down further.
I upgraded a 2018 macbook pro to Monterey at the end of January.
Since then, the mac shut off, unexpectedly, some 70 times.
I am not impressed at all. Never experienced this kind of embarrassing moments with a pc...in the middle of presentations.
Looks like Apple does a little less of a stellar job.
EtreCheckPro report
Run Apple diagnostics to help see if hardware problem
You can try using the following to find s hardware problem
I've Apple Diagnostics
I've tried everything I could find
It seems, the workaround is to stop the Mac from going to sleep.
Its not the solution I was looking for but it has worked
I get the same. Clean install Monterey 12.2 Mac-mini 2018. Every morning mDNSresponder kernel panic
The next time it does this, I will report back.
I will add that I walked away from the Mac mini for about three hours, and when I just came back, it was still up (Logitech mouse is still unplugged).
Seems they listened to us as there was just an update for intel Macs for bluetooth issues
