I’m getting this now with my new tb 2017 macbook pro. I was originally getting the static screen. After doing a nvram reset, I get this screen but with a singular loading bar as opposed to the small spaced out ones. Do you guys know if this goes away over time?
I'm sorry but I can't really visualize what this issue is. Is the loading bar you're speaking of the regular startup loading bar, but the issue is that it now happens when you wake the MacBook from sleep? Maybe an image would help?
How's the wake-from-sleep behaviour? Does your Mac act as if it has just restarted (applications take time to startup) or does it act as if applications have been kept in RAM and are just immediately available (default sleep behaviour)? I guess the issue is that the Mac is taking a long time to recover from sleep?
