Mac automatically turns on when I plug in the charger

My 2023 MacBook Pro automatically turns on whenever I plug in its charger. I'm on Ventura 13.4.1. Can someone please tell me how to turn this feature off?

Yes it is a "feature".

There is no user setting to disable.

Thanks Leroy. This seems absolutely insane to me, and I'm sure it is just another one of the reasons people hate Macs. Apple forces its users to do things Apple's way. smh....

Do you know how I can at least turn down the sound it makes when I plug in the charger?


You can try muting the sound before you shut off, to be honest I don't think that even works for you issue.



Yes crazy, many complaints along these lines
