Mac OS 10.13.4 wake up screen glitch

I have had this same exact problem since I updated my old MacBook Pro 2012 model to Mojave in the fall of 2018. I tried the "fixes" suggested here in this thread, but nothing helped. The incremental updates to Mojave have not helped or fixed the problem. I just updated to Mojave 10.15.1 today and hope it helps. I hope that a new version of the OS comes out soon and fixes the problem. I hope when the new OS DOES come out, it won't make my old Macbook Pro obsolete! From everything I have read, I have to agree with everyone that it is a software/OS problem.

Hi guys

I used to have same problem but not with Mojave, it's been fixed, mine MBP, 13, 2017 without touch bar

Thank you for you guys and  for fixing this issue

OK. shivainari's looked like heat, yours does not, my only guess after seeing the myriad of issues with recent updates/upgrades is most issues seem on the face of it seem to be a munged install. 😟

Uhhhg, call Apple right away.

True, & it figures that the latest MacOS is pressing the Video cards in a different way, Metal required for 10.14.x

Yes, i've had this same problem - was thinking it was a hardware issue. It usually gets better after I reset the computer but then it does the same thing when I bring it out of sleep mode.

I'm told it's a hardware issue. They gave me a new laptop Fingers crossed, no issues in 24 hours.

Thats sleep mode, it could be a error screen: Flashing Folder, Prohibitory Sign Spinning Globe etc. Or is it just a square?

THANK YOU for posting this! This started for me when I upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.3; when I upgraded to 10.13.4, it temporarily stopped, but now it's back. The screen flashes so briefly, I'm not able to capture the image.

This is the first post I've found that describes this problem (others mention a "rainbow swirl" type problem and others mention black dots on the desktop view).

It's worrying because I purchased my MacBook Pro December 2017. When did you purchase your model?

I’ll be interested to know what they did- Wipe it totally? Put 10.13.5 back on? Then, what are their instructions for putting your data back on? Through migration assistant? Will check back here for your (good) news...

Let me know if you get the wake up static glitch after a long sleep tomorrow. Wow. Replacing logic board and cpu? Now I'm glad I didn't send mine in. Question. Did they wipe your machine and bring you back to 10.13.5? Did you have to reinstall all your own data? Did they tell you to do it from 'restore to backup' or using migration assistant and only bringing SOME stuff back in? Thanks.

Welp, I heard there won't be a 10.13.6, it's going straight to 10.14. I'm so sorry that they didn't fix your computer. Make sure you report it to Apple! And tell them that there are sooooo many others with this same problem/glitch/static. Glad to know I'm not alone with this, but it feels like it when I spend WAY too many hours on the phone trouble shooting. I'll be staying tuned to this page. Thanks.

I have same issue on my 2016 Macbook pro 15". After wake up from standby colours are washed out.

After restart colours are fine for 1 min and then gone washed again. I tried safe mode, CMS reset… nothing helps.

Shame on Apple. #MacbookProShame
