Do you use a MacBook with an external monitor? You'll find that the problem goes away after disconnecting your external monitor. When the monitor is connected, you can fix the problem (for now) by going to the settings and designating your MacBook as the main screen and the external monitor as extend screen. Good luck.

It seems to be problem especially with monitors that use the usb-c to thunderbolt 2 dongle. I have the same problem with my apple Thunderbolt Display. I cannot believe that apple is recommended a workaround as an "official" answer to this problem and I hope is is fixed soon because it is really annoying and cost me hours of work because disconnecting the monitor (with some peripherals I need for my work, e.g. A/D converters) crashed the system. It is a very serious bug. Please apple! Fix this soon.
