Twice this week in the morning, I open the lid of my M3 MacBook Pro and the keyboard lights are out - all is off - and it takes pressing the power button to get the Mac to boot up. I checked the logs thoroughly, there was no power off, no panic.

Anyone seen this on MacOS 26?

PS - I run AlDente too.
 
To clarify:
1. You shut down the computer.
2. When you open the lid, it should boot automatically.
3. It does not.

Is that an accurate description of your problem?
 
No. I closed the lid keeping it running. It has always been set for wake from LAN, don’t sleep. I open the lid next day, it appears powered off-but it is not - no indication of button press, panic etc in logs. I then press power button and it turns on/boots up.
 
I’m still not clear about what happens. When you press the power button, does it wake or boot?

Wake: the screen lights up and everything is ready to go as it was.

Boot: the screen displays a white apple and a progress bar, leading to a login screen.
