My Macbook Pro keeps asking to shutdown

Hi there!

My new Macbook Pro 16 keeps asking to shut down (image attached). Randomly, while working on it, a pop-up window asking for confirmation to shut down the computer keeps popping up. It didn't happen before, I had it for a couple of months and this just started happening a week ago. Obviously I checked if some software is doing that but I can't find anything that could be asking the system to shut down.

Any idea what could be causing it? It's pretty annoying.

Thanks

You do not say what exact Mac this is....

If you are hitting the keyboard shortcut...

Control–Power button* or Control–Media Eject: Display a dialog asking whether you want to restart, sleep, or shut down.
