Battery icon on screen when waking from overnight sleep

[kenoh]

Hi everyone. This one is ripping my knitting!

Is anyone with a 2016 touchbar MacBook Pro getting a weird screen when waking from sleep having been plugged in overnight? When I unplug mine in the morning and open it up, i get an image of a battery at the charge level it was at when i plugged it in. Sometimes the screen goes away once logged in, sometimes I have to force a reboot. Any one experiencing that?

I am finding the stability of my 2016 MBP a bit "PC like" if I am being honest! My 2009 is still here and works flawlessly yet my 2016 glitches every day or so. Sometmes it wont wake, the finger print reader just stops working needing a reboot and some days the battery drains in 2 hours, others it will go all day - without using power hungry apps...

I am a knowledgeable user so tried the obvious.

Thx for any advice.

My 2017 15" does the exact same thing. Also, I noticed today that the machine is not going to sleep when the display is open no matter what the settings in sys prefs are.

Thx for replying. It doesnt do it if there are no apps open. No one seems to have a clue why it does it. Getting on my nerves.

Is yours not sleeping when open even though the energy saving settings tell it to?

My 2016 MBP (with Touch Bar) does this, but always quickly goes away on its own.

Exactly this. Apple had me go into /Library/System and move everything out of the LaunchDaemon and LaunchAgent folders and then add them back one at a time until a culprit was found.

Well it’s sleeping again, but with all the original files where they were at the beginning. So I have no idea if that actually fixed it or if it’s a fluke.

Hmm.. head scratcher maybe it was a file permissions issue.

There is a way to look in the system event log and it tells you what is stopping it. I will try to remember it and come back
