Yosemite WindowServer crash every few days

I am also having this problem, ever since installing Yosemite. First it was with my mid-2010 MBP, now with my new mid-2014 MBP.

It seems to have something to do with having dual monitors and custom color palettes. I have not hit this problem since I disabled the custom palettes. That may be a workaround.

I don't think that that proves causation. I have the same issue but never use an external monitor. Unless you count the fact that I sometimes use AirPlay to cast to my AppleTV connected to my HDTV. But I get the crashes on days I haven't used AirPlay at all. I did try switching my color profile to a default profile (instead of the custom profile I had used), but that did not prevent further crashes.

So Apple.... 10.0.2?

I had been having this issue now since I upgraded, it is infuriating. Based on the later posts I seem to hit that criteria, I have a second monitor and use f.lux which does color palette customization. I upgraded f.lux and if the crashes continue I will have to stop using it for now but really hope the f.lux upgrade fixes it. I will report back it crashes continue.

What happened to the quality control at Apple!! This thread has been going on for a month. I can only imagine the lost work this has caused for millions! I have 3 macs and one is experiencing this. The iMac 27 late 2012. It happens more than DAILY! I have 2 user accounts. encrypted disk. No external monitors and am using latest update 10.10.1 but this was happening before the update as well. It just got worse with the update.

I have a MBP13 2011 model and it's fine. I have a mac mini that is mainly used as a server and it doesn't appear to be crashing either. All computers have multiple user accounts and using 10.10.1 but it will happen even with only one account logged in. It seems to have some relationship to Safari or it could be that I'm just in that App more often.

With so many people reporting this, why is it so difficult to solve. I'm reminded of the 80s when macs crashed more often. I thought those days were over!

I've been having a problem along these lines too, and I created a separate thread about the issue before I found this thread: Re: WindowServer keeps crashing, which logs me out of all user accounts .

I have no idea what's causing the problem, but I too both use a second monitor and have f.lux installed. I could un-install f.lux and see if that helps.

After you install yosemite I too have experienced this problem. Several times a day, all programs are closed and me "throws" from the system. This is very annoying! A lot have tried reading it, but no solution found. In the logs windowserver crash...

I now had this problem as well without an external monitor, the crash log again shows a crash in color space handling code.

The different thing this time, was that no external monitor was involved, now it happened when wanting to login to my laptop in the morning,

the laptop was still active, only the display was asleep.

I have the same crash as ngocphamm (to distinguish from others in the thread) right down to nearly the exact same text under "Thread 0 Crashed." My MBP is a mid-2009, and I've been having the crash under 10.10 as well as 10.10.1. I use a custom color profile on an external monitor. But I would describe the crash differently from what others have said. It almost always (or maybe always) happens to me when I launch applications. I will be doing something on the MBP, launch an app, and while the app is launching, the color profile switches back to default, and I'm at the login screen. AFAIK, I have never had it crash while I was away from the computer. It doesn't happen to me daily. It happened to me today, and I believe the last time was on the 6th.

I guess I'll turn the color profile off (if I can stand it!) and see if the problem goes away permanently.

I've tried turning off the custom color profile and it didn't change anything, I still get random crashes.

It's not 100% consistent, but I'd say 80% of the time it happens while I've been away from the computer and either the screensaver comes on or the screen shuts off.

But I've also had it happen while I was using the computer, or when turning on Airplay mirroring.

In my case, same problem.

I also have an MBP 2013. The crashes seem to happen when an external monitor is connected an I log back in after being away. I also have VMWare Fusion running in many of those cases if not all, like others on this thread have also mentioned. I am not sure if I use custom color profiles. I also upgraded from Mavericks, instead of doing a full clean install and I also have an encrypted harddisk.

In spite of those ideas this seems really hard to reproduce, because it only happens like once or twice a day.

Here's my latest crash log:

Two crashes in one day! I've tried all the recommendations here and nothing seems to work. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason behind the crash, but I notice it happens most often when I lock my screen.

I'm about fed up with these "upgrades" that just seem to get more unstable without fixing the bugs of the last releases. This is the most unstable OS I've used since Windows 98.

<snipped crash logs because nobody cares>

There's really no reason at all to post crash logs in this forum. Apple isn't reading or using them. You need to submit that info via Apple support. Doing it here is just adding unnecessary noise to the discussion.

Ah yes, Apple support, the same entity I've submitted many bugs and crash reports to just to hear nary a word, to never have the issues fixed. I think I'll just ask my IT department to give me an Intel/Linux machine. That's far more productive than expecting Apple to do anything.

Yeah, I understand your frustration. I am having issues too. However, I don't expect Apple to respond to any of my crash reports unless they need to follow up.

In any case, you will get less results (zero probably) submitting crash logs here. Go for the Linux box. It will probably work pretty well.
