"you shut down your computer because of problem"

I had to reformat my imac and issue solved

Two weeks thinking I had a battery problem till I realized It was happening when I turn off/on the laptop. Cause in addition after this error, my Macbook pro was turning off and it was showing the empty battery logo.

I solved with your tip. Thank you for this usefull information.

Thanks ShHZh for posting the solution you found at reddit. I had booked a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow having spent hours reinstalling Monterey, resetting NVRAM & SMC and running first aid on the Disc Utility. Your solution worked immediately and I've now cancelled that unnecessary appointment (which was recommended by the Apple support guy I was chatting to online). Clearly some questions here for Apple re Monterey OS and updating the information held by there support staff.

I have same problem, everytime I shut down my computer, since I updated my computer to Monterey 12.1, what is the difference as to what I do with my computer to Apple..? I bought it, paid for it, because of it's positive reliable computer, as per a survey done with the public. I alway's trust Mac Computers Before any thing else on market, they protect every virus from entering, where paying for one is a waste of money. I bought Malwarebytes ( as per Apple reviews ), and paid over $200.00 u.s., for 2 years, and every 12 hour, does it scan, takes 39 seconds, and no virus found, I will alway's buy Apple Computers for as long as I live, and with no regrets. But I fail to understand as why Apple, sends me this comment " You shut down your computer because of a problem..? ), no I did not have a problem, these days every thing on internet is not trustworthy, like all sites, track you down like if I was a criminal, 90% of all sites I go on, Safari Blocks them all, from following me. Am I paranoid, no, just playing a safe game with them, especially card game called 247spades.com, where their partners are Google, Amazon and one other. Play a few games, and you will notice, computer robots, on left, top and right side, always have all high spade cards, and you get all lowest spade cards, what bothered me the most, is it happen once, Ace of spades was used twice in one game, and screen magnify itself to 500%, and, No browsers, either Safari, Firefox, Opera or Google, can block them. So yes I feel 100% safe using Apple Computers.

Strange that Apple wonders why I shut off my computer, 90% of time is due to a power failure, or Browser not responding to my commands, still, if I leave my home, I shut off everything, that uses power.

Seriously why would Apple care, what I do with my computer..?

I am not God, I don't have the power to keep my computer on during a power failure.

Thank you!This worked. I am very grateful to you (and reddit) I called Apple and when they couldn't figure it out they advised I take it to an Apple repair affiliate and they just said it was a software problem. I deleted my latest updates to no avail. Thanks again!

Thanks! It worked! Very easy to go to the folder and delete the file.

Apple should be ashamed and embarrassed:

1. This has been a problem for so long and it is still not fixed.
2. The people who called did not receive this simple fix.

Be patient. I woke up the next morning after I wrote that post and the MacBook was fixed by itself . It didn’t show that horrible message anymore. But I didn’t do anything it just simply disappear

Did you shut down your MacBook and then restart the next morning?

Yes and that was it ! Then I thought what ? This can be happening and I turn it on and off to see if the error reappeared but it was gone for good

Sadie after two days the computer start showing the same message and I call apple and they didn’t care enough to guide me successfully. So , I reinstall Mac OS and all the same the problem is there

Exactly the same problem here after upgrade to Moterey.

Every new release of macOS is more and more unstable.

Is there a solid solution for this???

The problem has also fixed itself on my computer. I think it probably has something to do with how the shutdown goes. Thanks for the reply.

Didn't work for me smh

This has just worked for me. Thank you. The problem started when I updated to Monterey 12,2. Now the message on startup has gone.
