Having issues with restarting my MacBook Pro, if it turns off or is restarted and I select to reopen programs it will restart but will just have the spinning icon, so I think have to turn it off and restart it in safe mode so I can then restart it without anything running.
It seems to happen no matter what programs are being run or if nothing is actively being used
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.3

To trouble shoot further you can:
—SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
If no insight or resolve I would try reinstall macOS on top of your existing macOS to sort anomalies
