This Mbp for reasons beyond my current understanding suddenly quits a given application and goes to login screen. There I can log back in, but these unscheduled semi shut down are not right. It is reminds me of a kernel panic, only that it does not shut down all the way, but just goes to login screen… It was also revving fans, but that I fixed with fresh Arctic Thermal paste MX2, and it is much happier in that department now…Also I removed “clean my mac” and shut off some other plug-ins I suspected to be troublesome , such as Dashlane, which seemed to take a lot of resources in Activity monitor. Any clues anyone on the unscheduled returns to Login screen? Just did a PRAM reset and for now it seems OK while installing updates….but any clues are still welcome..Thanks , Jurgen
Ok, badda-frekkin-bing, as some would say. The random return to login screen was not as random as it appeared. Those returns were caused by dragging finger over the trackpad and causing the curser to go to the top left corner, where it triggered the return to login page. And that was so, because under Mission Control “Hot corners”were enabled for reasons unknown. Upon disabling this function, the problem was solved.
Thank you for sharing a solution to this problem, because I was also looking for a way to fix this feature. So I am grateful for your feedback. I can say that this caused difficulties in my work, so I thought that I would have to hire a specialist to solve it. But first I decided to look for an answer on the forums, and I did the right thing. By the way, I have a question. Where do you get apps? I found a service on https://apksalad.com/en and found some free apps there that are paid on other platforms. I want to download a couple of apps from them to check how it works. If you have any suggestions, please share them.
