Betas on a mac is not really good idea specially when that's the only laptop you have to use all the times.
I am alone with Thunderbolt issues in 10.15.6? Thunderbolt ports on each side works as long as there is not sleep/resume cycle once used. Then I can use Thunderbolt ports on other side. macOS does not survive another sleep cycle and dies with "black screen of death". After boot it offers send report to Apple... Happened three times over last two days :-(.
An issue with the App Sandbox is causing problems for some virtual machine software users, with the issue inducing a kernel panic in macOS Catalina 10.15.6 when used for a long period of time.
Owners of virtualization tools including those from VMware and VirtualBox have been raising faults in support forums, claiming their systems crash when using the software. In cases where it occurs, crashes happen with a regularity that the apps were suspected of causing the issue.
Posts in the VirtualBox forums indicate that, on multiple Macs using macOS Catalina 10.15.6, there was a kernel memory leakage for wired memory, which grew the amount of memory in use by approximately 1 gigabyte per hour. Once the leak grew enough, it would cause a kernel panic, the spontaneous closing of programs, and in some cases crashes of the Mac itself.
I am new to this forum.
It seems I am not alone in struggling with 10.15.6.
I applied the update a little over a week ago. I did see the blinking on wake-up like Louie B reported, but that didn't bother me so much. My MacBook Pro (MBP) mainly lives on my desk in "desktop mode" -- hooked up to an external monitor, keyboard, and speaker.
The update went without event and I was able to use it as I had after that. I take the MBP with me for trips to see family for days at a time and I haven't had trouble before today. Like I said, it's been about a week since I installed 10.15.6, but now I find myself with some horrible symptoms:
1: Upon login from a normal start-up, the MBP crashes and shuts down a few seconds after I enter my password.
2. When I close the lid to sleep the MBP, it dies/shuts down.
3. When I detach the power cable, the MBP dies as if the battery is dead or non-existent.
Looking at the system.log around the time of these events, I could see many references to VirtualBox and that's when I looked on-line to see there were issues with .15.6 and VB so I uninstalled VB -- I don't really use it so much these days. After a reboot, the problems persisted, but this time without the VB entries in system.log for me to blame easily. I feel like some of the symptoms I have are related to a buggy 10.15.6, but others are not since it's been a week since 10.15.6 was installed. I have installed the supplemental update with no positive results.
As things are now, I can only run my MBP plugged-in and in "Safe mode" -- I used to laugh at MS for having a "safe" mode...
Any advice on what I can do to fix/mitigate this would be helpful. I am not home to see if the behavior is difference once back in desktop-mode.
My computer is...
- MacBook Pro (early 2015)
- 16 GB of RAM
- 1T SSD
My battery is a replacement after the original died several months ago.
EDIT: My symptoms have changed slightly. When rebooting in normal/unsafe mode, the login screen appears for a tiny fraction of a second before the MBP dies again. So, it was impossible to login normally before, but I guess it's become a little impossibiler (it should be a word).
xcode-select --install
Howdy? Why does the Mail app not stay hidden even though the checkbox "hidden" in the login items is already checked off?

PS, macOS Catalina 10.15.6
I’m having this same problem. Any fix?macOS 10.15.5 also tried 10.15.6 and my App Store pulls up but apps don't show as installed with the download button. After I click on download it switches to OPEN, after a restart I get the same and I never have App Updates.
Any fix for this?
