macOS Monterey Booting issue

Hi,

After I upgarded my macbook pro, to 'macOS Monterey (Version 12.0.1)' I am getting issues while booting.

Everytime computer goes to sleep mode, monitor turned Off and getting a 'Question mark folder' on screen when i turn on.

Every time, I am using option key to restart my mac.

I tried steps mentioned in link : https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT204323

In disk utility, I could see below, is it normal or do I need to reinstall OS, Please advice.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Did you boot to Recovery to repair/First Aid the startup disk?

You really can't fully repair the disk you boot from.

Next would be to backup and then boot to recovery and try reinstall Monterey very existing installation. Nothing should be lost but you never know.

IMHO - One of the Two Macintosh HD - Data volumes is left over from the Time Machine Backup applied earlier. One of the Two is not a /System Volume and should be removed.

Suggest you click each one at a time to reveal the Mount Point and give us a Screen Shot. Do the same for the other Macintosh - Data and also screen shot
