in Dutch, I don't know the exact column name in English.) I immediately noticed that the hidd process had a "Yes" in that column. (My MacOS is set to Dutch, the column is called Plots. I added the column showing if a process was unexpectedly stopped. Then I right clicked on the column headers to add some more columns, hoping I would find a clue. No processes were taking up more than 20% CPU. The first thing I noticed, was that the CPU load was low overall. Today the problem occurred again, and I think I managed to find the culprit! Once the problem occurred, I opened Activity Monitor to see if I could spot some process doing weird. Uninstalled it, problem gone! How I found the culprit I found out that my problem was caused by the no longer maintained MagicPrefs software.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)ĭoes someone have had a similar problem? If so, what was the cause en did you find a solution? If not, where do I start to look for possible causes?.
I just close the lid and it goes to sleep until I open the lid again. Normally, I never shutdown or reboot my Mac.The problem occurs every couple of days now.(Before, I thought it had to do with external monitors, but recently the problem occurred when I was working "stand alone", so that theory is off the table.) The problem occurs both with external monitors attached and when working "stand alone".It doesn't matter how I switch, either CMD-TAB or by selecting an other apps window by mouse, the problem is the same.Once it occurs, it occurs on every switch, no matter between which applications. I was not able to pinpoint a single app to cause this issue.Then it works fine again, even when switching between apps. I can only stop this by rebooting the Mac. When I switch to another app, it will happen again. After that, everything works as if nothing happened. This freeze may last a couple of seconds to a minute or even more.
This is triggered by switching between applications. After working fine for days, my Mac has started freezing temporarily.
