Enabling Webrender fixed this specific issue, but ****ed pretty much everything else up
Have a MacBookAir6,2, and installed Catalina yesterday. Since then, the Mac will not awake from sleep (both unplugged and plugged to power), so I have to reboot every time it goes to sleep. This seems like problems reported from beta, so it's a drag that Apple has not sorted it out.
I'm having 3 issues with the Apple News app.
1) When pressing FN + Left Arrow key it does not go to the top of the page.
2) When you click on Today then click News + then back to today it crashes the app.
3) When using high contrast the words Today, News+... the words look white & the highlight line doesn't show on News+ or Saved Stories.

Lags when using airplay to my TV playing the same .mkv file (used Mojave yesterday and no lag, lag today with Catalina).
Freezes when I unplugged from direct HDMI connection to TV. Had to force restart MBA.
Freezes after I close the MBA and reopen again. Had to force restart.

My biggest frustrations with Catalina that I was hoping would be fixed in the public release;
-iphones on wifi not showing in sidebar
-ATV3 continually says 'cannot reach library' and has to be turned off then back on
-when a show or movie is watched on a device (phone or ipad), it does not update the play count on my mac when synced back

Dear All,
I have upgraded my MacBook (13 inch 2017) to macOS Catalina. After this update a problem arose that I didn't have before. If I want to eject my USB stick, the MacBook always gives a message that it is being used by 1 or more programs, while this is not the case. I can only forcibly eject it.
Are there more people who have this problem or is this just a bug?

I am seeing two issues so far.
1. After rebooting, I occasionally do not get a dock. Searching the forums shows this was an issue in beta.
2. In the App Store, the updates are not working. I had to manually update several apps today, and even after updating, they do not show in recently updated.
Other than that, I seem to have been pretty lucky. I'm updating the wife's MBA right now. We'll see if I get supper tonight or not shortly...

I am experiencing the same issue but it already started in Mojave for me. I had this problem with the „Bear“ app two times in Mojave and with „iMovie“ one time in Catalina.
I'm sure this has been posted but is there a fix for the infuriating "Update Apple ID Settings" notification that keeps popping up, even after logging in 100x?
I can't stand the badge that keeps showing up.

Yes, one solution is to manually log out and back in which solved the problem for me but keep in mind (I forgot about this ?) that this will reupload your entire photo library.
Not a bug, more like a question:
Just out of curiosity, I am wondering why I can't install MacOS Catalina from the command line. I am running the last version of MacOS Mojave. I normally install software updates through the terminal "
Now this question is 100% out of curiosity. I have no problem installing it through System Preferences, so I'll probably go ahead and do that. But it's weird that I can't, right? Especially since you can disable MacOS Catalina using the same tool
Even "
tl;dr So my question is: why can't I do this? Is this just something with Mojave→Catalina, or is this not allowed with ANY macOS major version update?
P.S. why does Apple (on MacBook) autocorrect "macOS Mojave" and "macOS Catalina" to "MacOS Mojave" and "MacOS Catalina", but doesn't autocorrect "macOS" to "MacOS"? Especially since the correct spelling is "macOS".

sudo softwareupdate -i "macOS Catalina"" doesn't work. Which returnsWhich if very weird considering you can ignore it with that same syntax

It seems they screwed up UI compositor and other GUI-related subsystems. I'm using an external display (MacBook Pro 2015 13") and sometimes prefer to use it exclusively while totally dimming the built in retina screen so I can put the laptop aside and that's when I set it up to mirror the displays. Once it's being mirrored, GUI becomes significantly slower and all animations are excessively sluggish.
I hope this gets fixed in a .1 update since it's frustrating as hell.

for me it stopped asking to update my AppleID when I started the apps Music, TV and podcasts and logged-in in each app
Code:
defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs; killall DockBut it will be back when you sign in into AppStore, Music or other Apple app.
I don't want to use iCloud, but System Preferences nags me to start using it.
I don't use iCloud. I used to be able to sign into App Store separately, but now there is a red "1" dot on the System Preferences icon. I can't get rid of the 'Start Using iCloud' message, even though I hit the 'Not Now' button. Urghh... How terribly annoying! Update: Is no one else bothered...

Every time I try to empty the bin, I see the same message:
I have to press 'skip' in order to proceed with emptying.
Of course, I restarted mac, but this did not helped at all.
Every time, an unknown object, makes this message to alert me, without knowing what really happens.

I have similar/same issue. My MacBook Aire 6,2 wakes to a black screen. You can see that the screen is lit up black, the keyboard is lit, and the sound is working. But I can't see anything on the screen and I am forced to reboot.
Twice now, iCloud Photos has been hung (first time - even overnight) "Uploading" - and it was only 5 photos the first time 1 photo the second. It did not sync to any other devices either. I can tap on the offending photo(s) and it comes up just fine, it/they just won't upload.
I have had about 30 other photos upload and sync without incident. These two times, a Shut down/restart of my iPhone, and it immediately comes up with "Updated Just now" and it's been updated. It seems to be some sort of small bug.

Worst update experience ever, and I can remember OS 7. The biggest problem at the moment is with Mail. Certain messages received via my Exchange email account triggers this error message:
The message <name of message> could not be moved to the mailbox “Exchange.”
Invalid base64 string for MIME content.
It actually does move the message into the mailbox, even though it says it can't. Others have reported the same issue on Apple's forum. I've reported it via Feedback.
