Will updating to OS Monterrey fix the sleep mode lock up problem?

Does anyone know if updating to Monterrey OS will fix the problem of my iMac locking up when logging back in from sleep mode? I am running Big Sur now. My iMac is 2017.

It is always recommended to stay current.... Security / bug fixes / updated features


The current stable release of Monterey including bug fixes, is macOS 12.5.1

Agree with previous suggestion.


There are times an upGrade may fix existing issues, on balance, sometimes the upgrade can Amplify existing unresolved issues.


Do you have a Rescue Plan In-Place. This comprises having 3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 Off Site incase of Theft, Loss or Natural Disasters. A Time Machine Backup  is very useful.


For addition purposes - two Tested Clones each to separate external drives. This is insurance incase the upgrades goes sideways. At least one Tested Clone and / or Time Machine Backup should be Off - Site


Does my CCC backup have to be bootable for me to restore data from it?

Well, your answer was a little more helpful than the pro-Apple line of "always update" It may or may not fix the problem, which has for the second time, corrupted my Fusion Windows machine. Fortunately, VMWare has THE BEST help desk. Because of my daily back-up, they were able to restore the virtual machine. I'll have to call them again, to fix this problem that Apple has caused. It used to be that Apple was consistently reliable, but now it seems to be just like Microsoft. I am frustrated in the extreme.


Plus, the software update no longer seems to find Monterey. I tried four times this morning. NUTS!
