I select "Shut Down" from the Apple Menu. The M1 Mac Mini shuts down and the front light goes off, but then about 5 seconds later the computer starts up again. I then tried to Shut Down from the screen where it asks to enter your password to log in. Same problem - shut down followed by auto restart.

I tried unplugging various devices from the port expander connected to the USB-A port and found that when I disconnected an external SSD the computer was able to shut down properly.

Try this > Shut it down, once it’s shut down then unplug it for ~30 seconds, plug it back in, wait ~15 seconds, and boot.
Thanks, but that did not work.
