[QUOTE="jlknapp505, post: 1842400, member: 403936"] I've got a Mac Mini, late 2012, 16gb RAM. 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel i7 processor, and I installed OS Catalina a few months ago. I had problems almost immediately, including kernel panics during sleep mode. I sent in the notices to Apple and after I began having problems with Office 365 (took multiple tries before Word and Excel would launch), notified MS too. No help from any. I tried dumping cached cookies, etc, which worked at first, but then went back to the same problems. I finally found a workaround. Close all programs at the end of the day [I]except[/I] Word and Excel, and close all their open files after saving. It was more convenient having everything ready as soon as I unlocked the screen, but since the workaround avoids the problems, I'm okay. The alternative was to wipe my disk and reinstall the OS I had before, Mojave I think. Whichever it was, it was the latest one before Catalina. It worked great for me; now I wish I'd never installed Catalina. But having never had problems such as these, I somehow thought that Apple was different, more reliable than Microsoft. Live and learn... [/QUOTE]
