Sleep Wake Failure with High Sierra 10.13.2

Since installing 10.13.2 I have a sleep wake failure on iMac. Was working perfectly before installed latest update on Dec 8.

This is not an uncommon problem but the "fixes/solutions" one reads on the internet are all over the place.

Is there a fix or is this simply something only Apple can solve for all those now plagued by the problem? It is irritating in the extreme.

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

I have the same issue with the new I9 MacBook pro. This issue is still present after the upgrade to Mojave. Once the screensaver starts, roughly 25 mins later a reboot takes place and you to provide my password to log in (touchId will not work)


This happens you set a corner to be a hot corner that triggers the screen saver and you are required to log in to get back into the MacBook.


If you close the lid you do not have the issue. Once you reopen the lid you can use touchId to get into the MacBook and all applications are in the same state as you left them.


I will try lock screen from the apple in the upper right corner next to see if that makes any difference after roughly 25 mins?

No, it's affecting them too. I've got a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) and _had_ this issue too. It started after upgrading to 10.13.2


I formatted my hard drive in HGFS and installed Sierra to escape the problem. A few days later (after making a clone and deciding I wanted to feel some pain) I upgraded again because...well I didn't really expect the bug not to return but...well it didn't.


So, I've got rid of this _very_ annoying bug which was massive pain but I've no idea why and how it worked. One thing to note is: I tried a clean install of High Sierra and that didn't fix the problem.
