MBA M1 sometimes goes to sleep when using external monitor Hello! Lately, I have been having an issue where whenever I would plug in an external display to my MBA and start using it (lid closed), the laptop would go to sleep sometimes while using it and I would have to click with my mouse to wake it back up. This usually happens soon after I plug in my external monitor (towards the beginning of each usage). I am using the latest software. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

MacBook Pro 13" Monterey 12.1 won't sleep when lid is closed Hope someone can help. I just got this laptop and I can't get it to sleep when I close the lid. There is nothing connected to it, like an external display. At the moment, I am having to shut the machine down. There have been some threads on this but no solutions as yet.

Try startup in Safe Mode. Choose the appropriate method.

This involves two restarts.
