? You do not say what exact Mac is this:

  • Intel
  • M1
  • M2


there is no NVRAM on the M1/M2— equivalent Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal.

If no resolve try SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support to sort anomalies.





resetting the SMC Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support see the details.
