Mac Studio crashes when unattended

Ever since buying my Mac Studio several months ago, I have found it has shut down (i.e., crashed) overnight, apparently due to a window server problem. What can I do to resolve this issue?

Mac Studio, macOS 14.7

You have a number of very old kernel extensions. They work at a low level and could be related to the kernel panics that are occurring. I'd have a look at these - probably you have migrated everything from a previous mac and several of the old things are not needed, but can cause crashes.

You have crashplan that seems to have been installed in 2015, and Samsung software from 2017.

Third party drive manufacturer is usually not needed (SoftRaid of course is a different matter).


There are also several browser plugins from way back when.
