How to Macbook Keeps Restarting after macOS 10.15 Update
For Macbooks Released Before 2012
Unfortunately, mac OS Catalina does not support Macbooks released prior to 2012. The graphic card used in these models is not compatible with the latest Mac OS.
Apple officially supports only Mac OS High Sierra on these older macbook models.
To revert back to using Mac OS High Sierra on a 2011 and older macbook,
1. Simply reinstall the supported OS by booting your macbook into recovery volume. To do this, press down the “Command + R” keys when booting.
2. If that doesn’t work, then activate Internet Recovery Mode by pressing “Command + Option + R”. This initiates the installation of the supported OS.
For Macbooks Released in 2012 and Later
Solution #1: Reinstall your Macbook in Safe Mode
The problem can go away with a simple reinstallation of Mac OS Catalina. To do this,
1. Start the mac in safe mode by pressing down the “Shift” key while restarting the mac.
2. Next, go to the App Store and install mac OS 10.15.
3. Once the installation is complete, reboot your Mac.
Solution #2: Remove Incompatible App
Some third-party apps running on your MacBook may be incompatible with mac OS Catalina. You can trace out these incompatible apps during startup. To do this,
1. Boot your Mac in Safe Mode by pressing down the “Shift” key when restarting the mac and then releasing the key when the Apple logo appears.
2. Next, open your Apple Menu and select “System Preferences > Users & Groups”.
3. Now, click on ‘Login Items” and uncheck boxes belonging to as many items as possible to prevent them from interfering with your Mac’s booting process.
Solution #3: Fix MacOS 10.15 Startup Drive through Recovery Mode
Disk Utility is a handy native tool for troubleshooting mac issues, including those affecting your mac OS Catalina disk. If your MacBook pro keeps rebooting after macOS 10.15 update, you can use disk utility to iron out the issue. To do this,
1. Press down “Command + R” while restarting your mac until the Utility menu pops up.
2. Next, navigate to mac OS utilities and choose “Disk Utility”.
This brings up issues affecting your system, along with instructions on how to troubleshoot them.

| Click here to return to the 'Always keep an application open' hint |
This is great. Thanks for posting. Now would there be a way to keep the application hidden?
There is, already. Read this: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?LSUIElement
Thanks for the suggestion. This is quite technical. I am in no way a developer and got lost in the instruction. I was hoping for a simple solution like the one presented in this hint. I don't mind having the icon showing the application open in the dock but would like to hide the window.
Mac Os Keep Window On Top
Maybe this explanation can help, if you want to hide dock icon. (From here: http://growl.info/documentation/hardwaregrowler.php)
Disabling the dock icon:
Because HG doesn't really have any user-interaction features, you may follow these steps to disable the dock icon. Navigate to wherever you placed HG and right-click on it and select 'Show Package Contents.' Open up contents and then right-click Info.plist. Highlight 'Open With' and select TextEdit from the list (If TextEdit is not in the list, choose 'Other...' and navigate to TextEdit and click 'Open').
Paste the following just after <dict>:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<true/>
Not directly through launchd; but then again, I'm not sure why you'd want to do that, so maybe I'm misunderstanding the question. what app are you talking about, and what do you want hidden?
I remotely connect to my computer at home with an application called TeamViewer. When TW launches it opens a window which provide login information. If you close that window, TW quits. You can't keep the application open without the window.
There are other members of the family who use this computer. They are sometimes distracted and close the window and with it, the application. Your hint comes very handy to prevent this. However, to prevent confusion it would be better if the window would hide when the application opens. You can do this when you add an application in the Login Items.
Badly designed port of a windows app. You should write the developers and tell them that this is un-Mac-like behavior and they should fix it.
That being said, this is not (IMO) how you should approach this issue. It would be better for you to create a second user account just for work and enable fast user switching. This way you have a handy menu that lets you switch between accounts - you can log into your work account, start the application, then switch to the other account and let your family have at it: the work account and the TW app will run in the some strange background dimension where no one can see it. Just tell your family not to go into your work account on pain of eternal grounding. (you could password the account if you really wanted to, but it would add the extra stop of entering the password when you wanted access).
In fact, you could set up individual accounts for each of your family members so that they could all do their stuff without it mixing in with everyone else's stuff. You'd want to max out your machine's RAM (fast user switching keeps each logged-in account active, which hogs memory).
'you could password the account if you really wanted to'
Oh my goodness. Are you seriously suggesting that users don't apply a password by default? This isn't 1980, you know...
However, If you're already sharing a user account with your family (and I assume this is a desktop that doesn't travel out of the house where other people could get physical access), then putting a password on your work account would just be to keep your kids/spouse out of it - it wouldn't really be needed for security reasons (unless you're worried about someone breaking into your house late at night so they could update their facebook page).
That being said, if you're going to have an account with no password, do not under any circumstances make it an administrator account or put it on the sudoers list. That would just be dumb.
Actually, this is a common behavior for applications that won't open more than one window at a time. For instance, Apple's own iPhoto, System Preferences, Dictionary and Calculator will quit on closing the window.
I appreciate your suggestions. I am already using multiple accounts on the computer but I also do remote support for extended family and friends and would like to keep it as simple as possible. A window auto-hide at launch would be just perfect in most cases.

Google the system preferences app Do Something When - I think you can set that up to automatically run a script to hide the app when it's launched.
I installed this Preference Pane. You can set it to open a document or an app when an app is launched (no option to run a script as such). I am not familiar with applescripts but managed to create an app with Automator that hides the window after launching TeamViewer. It does what I wanted to do. I am an happy camper now! Thanks tedw and everybody else for the kind and appreciated inputs.
Keep On Mac Os X
Doesn't this LaunchAgent prevent you from logging out? Every time you try to log out, Stickies relaunches and blocks the logout.
No, it shouldn't. launchd has a special procedure for logout and shutdown, in which it disables launchd jobs (for precisely this reason, I think - the KeepAlive key is commonly used for certain kinds of background tasks).
I rebooted several times to test this claim and the shut down was cancelled the first time only. I don't know why it happened only the first time.
Keep On Mac Os Sierra
Maybe you had 'sudo launchctl load [...]' by mistake?
You lost me here. All I did is implementing the steps as instructed and did not change anything in between reboots.
This is pretty cool, Thanks! It works fine on my 10.5 system, but while it's loaded on 10.4, it doesn't seem to function. Any quick suggestions? Thanks again!
Keep Window On Top Mac Os X
You 'da MAN! I just made this change on my 10.4 system and it's working!
Thank you!!
