Freeze on lock screen while Macbook connects to external monitor

I've updated to macOS Ventura official release after it releases directly, As an office worker, I usually use my laptop with an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

The issue is that if I left my device in sleep mode, it just freezes on the lock screen, and requires me to make a hard shutdown to be able to use it again.


I've installed fresh macOS Ventura through recovery mode hoping this might fix the issue but it's not, the issue keeps happening.

MacBook Pro 16″, 13.0

Hi kareem_arafa,


We recommend looking over the settings for sleep and wake just to make sure nothing has changed.
