Macbook automatically turn on when I open it

Hello,

my MacBook automatically turn on when I open the laptop. I would like to turn it on just clicking on the power button, not automatically when I open the screen, like the old MacBook. Is it possible?

Thank you

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

macbook pro 2021 why do i have to hold power button for 10 seconds to turn on MacBook? Hi, ever since day one of owning my new MacBook pro A2251 whenever I want to turn it on I have to press and hold the power button for +10 seconds to get it to power on. Boot up, and running it is fast, but the actual power on does not happen until holding power button down for +10 seconds. This is extremely irritating compared to my previous MacBook Pro and experience with other laptops. Why is this the case and can I fix it?
