Hi all.
I have a 2019 15" MacBook Pro that I have running on the latest version of macOS Big Sur 11.4. Approximately two weeks ago, I started noticing when I woke my Mac up from sleep it takes a lot longer, and I now see the black startup screen with the white Apple logo (like the computer is starting up) but then it goes to my login screen prompting me for my password and saying that it is needed for TouchID or my Apple Watch because the computer restarted.
However, it hasn't actually restarted because as soon as I type my password in it goes to me desktop with whatever apps I had open, but does this far too quickly to actually be starting back up (no progress bar is displayed, it just goes directly to the last app/desktop I was on when it went to sleep last.
Has anyone else seen this or know what to do to fix it? I have a 2017 iMac 27" that is up to date as well, and it never behaves like this. When I wake it up in the morning it unlocks with my Apple Watch, and my MacBook Pro thinks it has restarted for some reason.
Also, I attached a screenshot that shows I do not have a schedule setup that would be causing this...
Thanks in advance!
