Hi all. Seeing a new and unwelcome behaviour today. After sleeping, Hackintosh wakes up in a strange state. Mouse movement is very jerky and stuttery (but keyboard seems fine). And kernel_task is hogging about 80 percent of the CPU.
I tried unplugging oddball USB HID stuff... no change. All my mice act the same, so it's not the mouse itself.
The funny thing is that this was not happening a couple of days ago; I could sleep and wake and sleep as many times as I liked with no issues. And I haven't changed anything on the MacOS side. What happened in between was that I left Win10 running for a day or two. I installed Logitech Gaming Software under Win10 and did a wee bit of configuration on a Logitech gaming wheel. Also ASUS ROG driver/utility for Win10, but I didn't do anything with it, just installed. I don't recollect touching anything to do with mice.
I don't see how Win10 could have changed something in how Mojave behaves, but maybe it can? If I restart, the problem goes away. Booting off SSD of course, a restart is pretty painless. But it bugs me that I used to be able to sleep and wake fully functional, and now I have this weird pointer malf.
I read one suggestion that the CPU and GPU can get stuck in "low power mode" at slow speeds. So I'll check on that, but I don't know how to fix it if so. Of course the first thing I tried was sudo nvram -c but it didn't fix anything.
It's seriously irritating when my Win10 install seems to be more stable than Mojave: something's wrong with this picture!
Just had two hiccups where my screen actually blinked. Could it be something to do with graphics card?
Paranoid theory: Win10 tries to sabotage dual-boot hosts!
Been up several minutes now and kernel_task still getting 65% of CPU... nearly unusable with this mouse stutter... time for a restart...
[30 seconds or so later] now everything is just dandy, mouse works fine and kernel_task isn't even on the radar as far as CPU consumption. Core Clock and Memory Clock look about the same as when it was acting up though. So I know how to "fix" it but I would prefer to wake from sleep in a functional condition, like I could 2 days ago!
