Hello crazyalkolik,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with reinstalling macOS. The related article at the top of the page is a great resource for how to get to the Options menu. To clarify, you said you were able to get into macOS but are unable to reinstall it from there. Is that right?
If so, follow the steps listed here to see if they resolve the issue: How to reinstall macOS
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
Please read my post again.
Try using Option-Command-R when it restarts. By the way what applications did you delete? Try this.If your Mac restarted because of a problem - Apple Support Have you done an SMC Reset?https://eshop.macsales.com/blog/77729-how-to-reset-the-smc-on-intel-and-m1-macs/

These are good suggestions for an Intel-based Mac, but they aren't applicable for Macs with Apple silicon (including OP's Mac). Internet Recovery isn't available, and you can't reset the SMC.
Thanks for noting that your Mac restarts when you try to shut down! That is especially helpful.
You may be able to access macOS Recovery with a well-timed power button press:
Also, if necessary, you can force your Mac to shut down: Press and hold the power button (Touch ID) for 10 seconds. Then, wait a few seconds, before holding down the power button again until Startup Options loads.
None of them is worked. It could be a physical problem with TouchID ? But finger recognation is working I dont know.
one more last question ? THis startup options is coming from recovery partitions right ? so what if it is damaged ? ( ıdk why btw )
but my computer's main problem why it doesn't shut it down ?
To Encryptor5000. I had to look up the differences between the intel Mac and the M1 Mac. Seems most of the key combinations start with first pressing the power button. Found this web page on it. which was helpfull for different startup options.https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/how-to-m1-macs-3801104/
As you said when "most of the key combinations start with first pressing the power button."
And if it doesn't bring that startup Options no need look for something else go to Apple support or there is only one thing u can you if.you have second MacBook.
Bec. With second MacBook there are other options which you can install. Everything in DFU mode from second macbook
When you have second MacBook you can reset your MacBook and reinstall everything without that power button
Have you tried a force shutdown by holding the power button and will it? When it restarts are there any dialog screens that are open? This may or may not help in find the problem, but could you download and run Etrecheck.https://etrecheck.com/. Post the results here. I'm thinking the restarting is why you can't get to the startup option screen or recovery.
When you uninstalled Clean My Mac and Carbon Copy Cloner did you use the built into the apps uninstaller? I think you have pieces of old apps still on your computer. Also you could go to utilites activity monitor as you have something that is using a lot cpu. Download and run Etrecheck as I think you have some adware.https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac
I tried to uninstall all apps and but nothing working. I think I will stop being stubborn to go to apple store :)
If I could format macos like windows It will be great.
If I do one bootable windows disk and delete everything ? What do you think ? THen boot with macos usb ?
If you install windows on your Mac using bootcamp, you would still have to get to the option screen to go to it. It would boot the first time to windows but after that you would need startup options. If you installed it on an external drive it might show up under options. If that was to be the case. Then it might mean that the recovery menu on you drive is missing. In that case you would need a usb installer for you operating system. That is if it will show up to do a reinstall. it might get it back. Can you back up your internal drive. If so, then erase it and do a clean install. Which should get everything back. then you could migrate you files back onto the internal drive. If you create a usb install drive and it will not show on your Mac Then I can't think of any other options and you may have to go to the Apple Store.
Hi
I can clearly say that if you have this issue with Macbook ( Apple Chipset ) it is a hardware problem.
You have to go to apple.
Just one question ; do you use any converter for HDMI or anything else which is not supported by apple ?
I tried to add it seperate text but I didnt see anything helpful.
MAC M1 PRO I can't boot in startup option to reinstall macos.
