MacBook Pro M1 neither turn off, nor locks the screen when lid is closed

Hi there,

I have a MacBook Pro 14" with M1 Pro 10 core silicon, bought 2 months ago. From the very beginning, when closing the lid, mac used to turn off. When opening it later, it showed lock screen, asking to put my finger on the finger button to log in.

But around a week ago I've noticed that it neither turns off, nor locks the screen when closing the lid. I hadn't changed any possibly related setting. In addition, when looking a solution I decided to reset (turn on and then turn off) "System Settings - Display - Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off", (it was OFF), but when it became ON, I was no more able to turn it OFF back.

It happened on the previous minor version of Ventura (I assume, 13.1). After noticing this weird behaviour, I've updated to the latest Ventura 13.2, but the issue remained.

I've googled, but neither of articles helped:

a) reset SMC: on M1 SMC is kinda inbuilt into the processor, and the only way to "reset" it is to turn off mac for at least 30 seconds - my mac gets turned off each night for 8 hours, and it does not help;

b) reset NVRAM by cmd+opt+P+R does not help neither;

c) issue with "System Settings - Display - Prevent automatic sleeping on power adapter when the display is off", it was turned off, then I turned it on to kinda reset and turn off later, but since then this toggle is always on, and I cannot turn it off - how can I reset this one too?

Appreciate your help, as I'm a newbie to "the laptop with perfect desing and construction".

Cheers,

Artem.

Closing the lid puts the Mac to sleep—it does not shut down the Mac.

You have setting you can make changes to suit your needs—

>System Settings>User&Groups

>System Settings>Lock screen

>System Settings>TouchID

Log out, sleep, wake, restart or shut down your Mac

Ok, in short, I have finally found the toggle: Lock Screen - Require Password after screen saver - Immediately. Then, when I close the lid and open it, mac shows login screen.

Although, I with a lock screen to appear not after the display was turned off, but after mac wakes from sleeping.

But what is sleep then? I assumed, it saves current state then turns off laptop, and when opening/starting it, it starts from the point where I left it (with all the programs previously opened).

Anyway, thank you for supporting me in my Apple journey :)

You close the lid the display shuts off, and the Mac sleeps— open the lid and login if that is your settings choice.

This is the way it has always worked.

Personally I do not want to login every time I simply close the lid (Sleep,) and open the lid...

It is easy enough using the Control Command Q to lock the screen if I am walking away.

good luck on your journey!
