I can't shutdown my MacAir M2

Hello, whenever I try to shutdown my Mac it restarts by itself few seconds later.

I tried to erase my Mac, redownload macOS Sonoma (latest update), start it under Safe mode, reset PRAM/NVRAM.. Nothing is working.

Can somebody tell me what to do next ? I'm afraid that it will damage the battery through time if things keep like that.

The version of my OS is Sonoma 14.4.1

Thanks

MacBook Air, macOS 14.4

I have just solved the issue. People who face the same issue should try to turn off the 'Wake for network access' option in Battery options :

General settings > Battery > Options... > Wake for Network Access : Never

Hello @kaz-k, thank you for your reply.

After forcing shutdown by button press and by terminal, same problem persists.
