Thanks for your reply.
- I have 50GB+ free according to "About Mac", I guess that it is fine, isn`t it?
- Karabiner is no malware (check https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ ).
- Anyconnect is the software we use to access our office Network from home (recommended by our IT department).
- Filepane is available from Apple Store and deleting it does not solve anything (but well, I have deleted it for now while trying to isolate the issue)

But I will take your advice and remove all startup items and uninstall all unnecessary apps in order to isolate the problem (if it is caused by an app... )

Hey, maybe I was wrong and it was really caused by Cisco Anyconnect, as you suggested! I restarted it after uninstalling it and it did not seem to have any effect. But after a while I tried to log-in as guest account and it worked and now the sleep function also works in my main account. So thank you very much! 🙂

Well, I though I have solved my problem by uninstalling AnyConnect but I was wrong 😟. What I do observe now is:

- Macbook sometimes goes sleep and sometimes not when the lid is closed. It is quite inconsistent.

- If it does not go sleep, I can log out and it goes sleep without issues from login screen.

So there is a workaround for me (i.e. to log out) but I hope Apple will fix the issue...

I was considering the same thing, however, I am very positively surprised at the speed of Mojave. It is much quicker on my MacBook Pro than the previous version, especially, Spotlight. So I am still trying to stay with Mojave despite this bug.

However, I do agree that they should fix it as soon as possible. It is very annoying.
