windowserver

Has anyone else had issue with WindowServer memory usage growing to insane amounts on Ventura? I use a 2nd monitor (without any custom color profiles) and after 8 hours WindowServer will be consuming 33gb of RAM. I've been upgrading to Ventura each point release only to downgrade back to...

Hi there! Can anyone take a look at these logs and tell what the issue is? Windowserver crashes several times a day when I connect or disconnect a display to my M1Pro MBP. The 2 logs below are different. Sometimes it crashes and gives me "VM - Compressor failed a blocking pager_get" as the error...

Hi everyone! This is by far the strangest bug I've ever encountered in my 9 years of using a mac. And it's got me stumped. After all, it doesn't seem like a system crash, of any kind, should be able to affect an external drive so dramatically. Especially when there was nothing even being...

I've been using Screen Sharing running on a 2012 Macbook Pro to connect to a late 2014 Mac Mini, both running Catalina, with no issues for over a year. The performance has always been snappy with no lag, even with both machines connected to wifi only. All of a sudden about a week ago (and maybe...

WindowServer will crash for me somewhat frequently (but not every time) when I disconnected my external monitors from my MBP. I have a 4k monitor plugged in via a DP=>USB-C dongle and another 1080p monitor plugged in via a HDMI=>USB-C dongle. Normally I close the lid before disconnecting...

BIG problem. My computer has intermittently shown this problem (in the title). The screen goes blank, fans go very loud, then the computer restarts itself. This happens mostly when using Logic, and more so when EuCon is active. However, it has also happened when simply using the internet... like...

So this started to happen since I installed High Sierra and I can't figure it out what might be causing it. I'm hoping someone here can guide me where to look for. I'm getting huge FPS drops on moving windows around, applications behave like crap, wired mouse starts to lag. This is a recording...

Since I've upgraded to Bug Sierra these two processes are always eating up my CPU and I can notice drop in frames when dragging windows around the screen. Of course, performance also takes a hit and doing tasks in various applications take 1-2 second longer. Main applications I use are Safari...

WindowServer is using a massive amount of memory, kernel_task is also using quite a bit though that might be on purpose. I was just streaming a video on youtube (about 1h of 1080p) so I don't know whether that has something to do with it. I noticed some lag but it disappeared when I closed the...

Hi, ever since the upgrade to macOS Sierra my window server has been crashing and causing my computer to log me out this seems to be happening once every day. the issue seems to be with HTML5 Video playback mainly happening when I'm watching videos via plex. (Safari 10) iMac (Retina 5K...
