How to disable automatic boot permanently when lid is open ?

I want to disable the automatic boot when lid is open.


It is sometimes annoying. When I shutdown the MacBook Pro, it automatically boots up again after sometime.


I want to totally stop this behaviour.


How to disable this on Macbook Pro ?

You can disable the automatic boot when opening the display by launching the Terminal app and running the following command:

sudo  nvram  AutoBoot=%00


Make sure to press the "Return" key at the end of the line to execute the command.


Resetting the PRAM will erase this setting.
