My Macbook Pro keeps restarting when I shut the lid. I have made sure all iOS is updated and am not sure what to do next. Below is the EtreCheck report.

OneDrive sync may be an issue Executable: Microsoft SharePoint - Crash Microsoft SharePoint —Crash

cisco.anyconnect.vpn (Cisco AnyConnect Socket Filter Extension) may be an issue —Crash (10 times)

To trouble shoot further you can:

unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS

—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 

***wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries— connect the charging cable, this will make the wired keyboard successful Safe Boot your Mac.

I would look at your settings—

I trust you have a backup plan in place—
