I had this happen repeatedly when opening a pdf on my Displaylink monitor... crashed back to login screen.

Here are logs... really hope we can get a stable system. I know Apple has some fault in this, but I still can't believe it is all Apple.

The window manager crash has the side effect of corrupting something in the user profile and that causes the machine to crash when resuming from sleep. The below fixes it - I guess I have to do this every time the window manager crashes.

Deleting com.apple.loginwindow.plist solves the problem, but you have to boot into single user mode and mount the file system.

Overnight the window manager crashed. It was not a system crash, as there is no system warning about a restart, but I did find my Mac at the login screen.

here is the log - hopefully you can figure out why the crash when no one is using it - maybe sleep related?

Good news is, that upon login DisplayLinkManager still at low CPU usage.
