my kernel_task is over 400

hello

is it bad that my kernel tak is over400 mb in the activity monitor under disk tab?

i have been getting some kernel related crashes..

the kenel task under cpu is a 35.5%


another thing that happened today was after crash my computer started up and installed Sonoma... i specifically had my settings to no auto install os why would that happen.. I am now forced to use OS i specifically didn't want to.


So i guess 2 questions there.

you have ten reports of 'ProxiedDevice-Bridge' crashes. Yours cite 'ips' crash. These MAY be caused by problems talking to the T2 chip.


That is not something readers here can help you fix directly. You may be facing a revive or restore, or a trip to the Apple store to have them do that for you. The more extreme of the two wipes your boot drive.


You should contact official apple support about that. They can read what you have posted on the forums, but first responders are NOT trained to read panic reports, so you will need to have a specialist call you back.


Official Apple Support


NB>> Genius Bar technicians are also not trained to read kernel panic reports, so unless your Mac is failing diagnostics, they will not be able to help you either -- unless Official Apple Support DIRECTS them to do something specific, like change your mainboard.

you don't have the classic obvious virus scanners installed. They are useless junk.


Yut you have FAR too much stuff that is very similar.

you have items that are grossly obsolete:

Cindori TEAuth

XQuartz and X11


You have extensions for BOTH adobe CS4 and CS5 installed.

you should clean up these items explicitly l called out in the report, likely be Trashing them:


Clean up:

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.ccxprocess.plist

/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Creative Cloud Experience/CCXProcess/CCXProcess.app

Executable not found


/Library/LaunchAgents/com.rim.BBLaunchAgent.plist
