Anyone else facing the same problem? Seems to have started after the MacOS 26 upgrade: both when on power or on battery, closing the lid and allowing the machine to go to sleep mode, it then does not wake up and a restart is needed. Interestingly, the caps lock led seems to work, i.e. keyboard is responding, but screen remains black!

For upgrade anomalies I would reinstall the macOS on top of the existing macOS to sort the issue

I can now verify that indeed, reinstalling MacOS 26.0.1 (using the startup options) has eliminated the problem. Thanks @leroydouglas!
After the Tahoe update my MacBook Pro Intel i9 2019 doesn't wake up after standby... it takes about 5-7 seconds and it don't recognize my Touch ID I need type my password manually
I ran into the same situation on the mac m1 pro after upgrading to 26.0.1, the problem is with the display turning on. The cursor appears on the dark screen long before the rest of the image.
I've been having the same issue on a M1 Macbook air. It started the very next day after I upgraded to MacOS 26 Tahoe. Also, I noticed the computer is slower, with applications crashing way more often than before (sometimes several times in the same day).
I have updated to MacOS 26.1 hoping that the problem would be fixed, but it wasn't.
Same issue here!! My Mac was absolutely fine and since the Tahoe update it has been crashing, having to restart every time after lifting to open my Mac!! Everything seems glitchy!! FRUSTRATING!! Come on Apple!! You are better than this!
Same issue here. Noticed it as soon as I upgraded. Turned off all the auto sleep options so it never went to sleep, which obviously avoided — but didn’t resolve — the issue. Then last night, force of habit put it into sleep mode instead of shutting down and now can’t wake it again. So annoying. Seems really odd that the only solution offered is to reinstall the OS. There have already been two OS26 updates I think — why has this not already been addressed?
I facing the same issue and will NOT reinstall
I have the same issue. I noticed this a couple of days ago and put it down to a once off. This morning, it happened again. I am running a MacStudio.
I am having the same issue Mac mini m2pro. It doesn’t always happen, but I NEVER had this issue prior to TAHOE.
Same here.. I will not reinstall the OS...
Screen not waking up, after Tahoe upgrade
