Shutdown

[richmond62]

This just doesn't seem to work with 12.4 betas: having to physically shut the thing (2018 Mac Min) down with the switch at the back.

Then on start up all the ballyhoo about not having shutdown properly.

Please describe exactly what happens.

If it's anything like my 15" 2018 Macbook Pro, when you press "Shutdown" from the Apple menu, it goes through the normal shutdown process but never completes. Screen goes dark, keyboard goes dark, whole thing becomes unresponsive. Fans still run at high speed and if left off a charger it will drain the battery completely until it finally dies. Holding the power button does shut it off with no adverse effects. Nothing I've done (other than opt out of BETA's and roll back to stable) has fixed it.

That's about it. Fans are not running: just the light on the front staying on. Then, everytime on switch-on the thing about not being shutdown properly.

 

[now i see it]

Holding the power button until the computer shuts down is a forced shutdown. MacOS doesn’t like that.

I've been getting that message after every start-up for months, through every Monterey update. I always shut down via the Apple menu, and it shuts down fine. Very annoying bug.

Still playing 'silly buggers' even with regular shutdown: about every 3rd time I am getting the "did not shut down properly" guff.

Keeping my fingers crossed re the 12.5 beta.
