After updating to Ventura 13.3 the screen goes black for 2-3 seconds and then returns to normal

Does anyone have any issue since this update that when you turn on your laptop and put in your password when it goes to the home screen the screen goes black for maybe 2-3 seconds then goes back to normal and everything otherwise is completely fine? 


This does not happen when you wake up. Only when rebooting, turning off and then turning on the laptop. 


I have a macbook pro 16 m1

I have m1 pro 10/16 MacBook Pro 2021 and same too me. First I bought 8/14 MacBook Pro and this bug happened to me and I returned MacBook and then bought 10/16 model. But still this bug happens to me. When I turn on my MacBook and enter the password black screen comes and goes after at Home Screen (desktop) black screen comes again (2-5 sec) and goes. This is so annoying. Please fix this !



I had to downgrade the OS to Monterey by necessity. Also on the device I bought it on...

This is the first time I hear about “lock screen blackout”. Can you elaborate on that? Everything that I’ve read so far in this thread seems to be a cosmetic issue while booting up, sort of a first world problem. I guess I am missing the point. I don’t boot my mac every day, so a second or two seems of little relevance, but clearly not everyone agrees…

It's not a few seconds, it's just that sometimes after the image flickering in the login the computer crashes.


Thank you for pointing that out.

In my mac, I see the screen turn black for a second or two when the progress bar is on; not after the user login screen appears. I understand that it may be mildly annoying. A crash, on the other hand, is serious, of course.

Hello! If I get you right, when you try to enter the password before the flickering, then the screen may turn black for 15-20 sec, right? The thing is I observed the same thing - if I enter the password before the flickering and don't enter the system but just enter the symbols in the password line, then the screen may turn black for not 1 sec but about 20 sec.
