Sleep Wake Failure with High Sierra 10.13.4

Since installing 10.13.4 on both of my iMacs, I have noticed a Sleep Wake Failure on my 2012 iMac.

Once it has gone to sleep, it will display the log in screen, I enter my password and it will hang. The only solution is to hard reset the system, where it will "bong" twice before presenting me with the login screen (NB: It is File Vault enabled).

This did not happen until I installed 10.13.4 prior to that it was working perfectly.

I don't seem to get this error on my 2017 iMac.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), macOS High Sierra (10.13.4), FileVault enabled

Are you using FileVault?

From my tests, it seems that 10.13.4 cannot wake up properly if your disk is encrypted with FileVault. 😟 The result is a black screen if you wake by keyboard or mouse (or rarely a non-responsive login screen).

If you press the power button to wake instead of using the keyboard or mouse, the iMac will turn on, turn off, then turn on again to perform a cold boot.

With FileVault turned off, it wakes perfectly every time.

Anyone on 10.13.3 reading this: if you need disk encryption, do not install the 10.13.4 update!

I have a different issue, but it might be related.

I’m using MacOS 10.13.4 with FileVault enabled. The computer goes into sleep mode when the display is off, even though I’ve set it not to.

Setting standby and autopoweroff to 0 is not fixing it for me.

Quite an annoying bug. I need my computer to stay online, but sleep mode disconnects it from the internet.

Dare I ask if anyone knows if this issue has been fixed with the beta 5 version that's just been released? I feel we are getting close to the final release 😐

Is that with the beta 5 of 10.13.5 or with 10.13.4?

Didn't fix it for me. My computer still goes to sleep when the screen is off. :/
