crashes MacBook Pro on macOS 11.1

All, I found a fix that apparently works for me so I want to share with the rest of you. I was on the phone this morning with Apple Support and the guy suggested I try resetting the System Management Controller. I was not aware of that one previously, but it's a very simple process. After I did it, my MBP has now been up and running for almost 2 hours, rather than crashing every 20 mins. The procedure depends on the model of Mac that you have, but here is a page that describes what you have to do for each model. I hope this helps you all: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

MBP 16" 64G RAM,4TB SSD, Big Sur 11.1

windowserver crashes frequently, starting with slowness. Stalling/freeze and then kicked out, need to login again.

Previous 11.0.1 was stable. Have never had an issue with Apple Upgrade (10 years).

Same identical issue, about every 20 minutes on MBP 16", Big Sur 11.1, 64G RAM, 1T SSD.

Same here, Since the upgrade I notice slow start and now no start at all. xcept the recovery mode.

Today I see no more crashes and performance ok again, still at the 11.1 release.

I see other tickets having similar behaviour, that system get stable after some time.

Glad to hear it, timmerm!

Quick update, my computer worked for about 54 hours, then just now it crashed again. So the SMC reset is not a permanent fix, I had to do it again.
