The M4 MacBook Pro often automatically activates the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen.
Not long ago, I upgraded from an M2 Pro Mac Mini running macOS 15.1.1 to an M4 Max MBP. After migrating with Time Machine, I encountered issues with internet connectivity, so I reinstalled all the apps that I used on the Mac Mini from scratch.
However, I've noticed that the MBP often automatically activates the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen. I've tried to keep track of it happening across various apps like Safari, Notes, DingTalk, MWebPro, and others. In most cases, after a few seconds of popping up a menu, it disappears on its own; in some instances, it requires a left mouse click to dismiss.
I attempted using Safe Mode for half a day and didn't encounter this issue again during that time. However, since working effectively is difficult in Safe Mode for me, I didn't test further there. I've also tried disabling some startup apps one by one but couldn't prevent this problem from occurring either.
I really don't want to erase the hard drive and reinstall all the apps again. Activating licenses and reauthorizing is quite a hassle, especially since I have a lot of plugins in SketchUp that need activation.
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.1
