Accessing Startup security utility

[comovartia]

I am trying to get into the startup security utility on my mac mini. Instructions say to reboot computer and when the apple logo appears to press command R. This will make Mac start up from MacOS Recovery. When I reboot my computer the apple log never appears. I still press command R yet my computer just reboots normally. Am I doing something wrong? 2023 Mc mini M2 Sequoia 15.5
Thanks

You're trying to get into Recovery using the method for Intel-based Macs; you need to follow the instructions for Apple Silicon ones.

Thank you. I was following instructions sent to me and the instructions had those steps listed for Apple Silicon chips.

Press and HOLD the power button and KEEP HOLDING IT DOWN until you see "loading startup options".

When you get to the next screen, I believe you have to click "options", and continue.

When you get to the screen after that, you can find it. It's been a while, can't remember, I think you got to startup security from a choice available in the menu bar...

I DISABLED all startup security options.
I WANT my Mac to be easy to start up...
(others may have reasons not to do this...)
