MacBook Pro wont shut down when lids closed.

FWIW, Apple Silicon laptops do not Shutdown when you close the lid, they sleep.

Hi Everyone, This is my another topic with same issue. Sorry for that because of my English.

I bought new MacBook Pro with M2 Max, its come with Venture OS.

At first days, when I closing Lid(screen) while MacBook running/ im using its shutting down, I thinking like that because when I lift up/open lid, Login screen comes back with "dong" sound / like booting sound at first.

If you shutdown system, and close lid. Macbook booting/opening when I lift up/open lid. Its ok.

But I changed some settings, after that when I close lid, than open it my screen comeback. There is not sound,not loading screen etc.

Can you help me?

Sounds like it is working as expect, no(?) Maybe I am missing something...

But wanna be sure for that is it sleeping when lid closing. How can I sure for that, I play YouTube video than close lid, audio/music/etc. stopping. Is that proof of sleep mode?

Yes.
