MacBook Air keeps shutting down/restarting each time I close the lid. I have a 2020 13 inch MacBook Air which keeps shutting off each time I close the lid. It gets annoying especially as I transition from one class to another and have to startup my Mac again with it sometimes taking up to 5 minutes. I have tried reseting, downloaded the update, hard reset, and deleted files and downloads off my computer. After hard reseting and creating a completely new Apple ID I have noticed my problem is probably something with the laptop itself. I do not know what else to do as this problem persists and causes a lot of annoyance. I am not interested in buying a new device but this problem has really created a great deal of inconvenience.

Be sure you have the latest Sequoia which is 15.3.2 which may resolve the issue or not but I would start from there.

Hi there,

I have already updated my Mac with the latest Sequoia which is 15.3.2 . But the shut down problem is still there.
