I have a MacStudio. I upgraded to Ventura. When I click a Microsoft Office app in my dock, my screens go blank and I get taken back to the login screen. Then when I log back in I see an error message that says, "WindowServer quit unexpectedly."
Process: WindowServer [36199] Path: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SkyLight.framework/Versions/A/Resources/WindowServer Identifier: WindowServer Version: ???
Anyone have any suggestions / fixes?
This has been happening to me several times a day since Ventura RC and now with 13.1. It's nearly unworkable. It happens when I Command-Tab switch from a full screen app to another. Often safari to mail or vice versa. I had Stage Manager turned off as I like to work in multiple full screen apps, but I turned Stage Manager on today and reduced all of my apps to no longer be in full screen mode and it hasn't crashed so far.
I also have a fully specced 14" MacBook Pro 2021 with M1 Max, 64GB RAM and 2TB SSD. So it's not lacking in grunt. I have it connected via USB-C to a HP Z27 4K monitor.
Same here. I'm using Macbook Pro M1 with Ventura 13.0. Crash every 1-2 hours in the middle of working without any patterns. So frustrating!
I have exactly the same problem. It has become unmanageable to work on my macbook.
4th time it's happened to me now.
crashed 3 times this morning when switching between desktops. Mac book pro 16" 2019 i7
Same issue here since updating a MB Pro M1 2021. When opening a window it crashes and goes back to lock screen.
Hi there,
You might have better luck asking this question over in Apple Support Communities run by Apple Support.
Same here on MacBook Pro 16", 2021 with Apple M1 Max
Same issue with different apps at least once a day after installing Ventura.. It's annoing Apple M1. mac book air.
Same here. Happen always when switching between the Zoom application and other apps. It's happening several times a day. Any solution from @Apple?
Same here on my MacBook Pro M1 after upgrading to Ventura.
Same here on Mac Studio - it seems crashes are somehow related with fullscreen work but it might be unrelated as there is no direct time based correlation.
I have the same problem after upgrading to Ventura. There may be several times within an hour. I noticed that when it crashes, I always have an external monitor connected. This was not the case before. Never had any problems without a monitor.
same here.. frustrating. MacbookPro 2020 M1
I think its often when i change Desktop / Fullsize Windows ( cmd+tab ) . But not sure ...
I've had this issue since upgrading to Ventura. Anecdotal perhaps:
