Good advice from den.thed.


Also...


Have you run Disk Utility's Disk First Aid on all connected drives?


In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.


Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.


Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?


We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...

Full Computer Sleep Mode is causing an assortment of problems including KP's.


As a test:


Turn On "Prevent automatic sleeping when display is off"



Set "Turn display off when inactive" to 5 or 10 minutes



Leave the iMac On and only allow the display to turn Off

Do not manually select Sleep from the Drop Down menu

Shut Down the iMac when your away for a day or more



It may get fixed, if enough folks send Feedback to Apple.
