“You shut down your computer because of a problem” message after every restart - how disable?

[jk73]

I have a late-2021 16-inch MBP. I had a kernel panic the first month related to that weird HD YouTube bug, but none since. After every single restart for over a year, through all sorts of OS updates including Ventura, I get the above message. Anyone know how to get rid of it once and for all? Thanks.

Strange. First reaction was that you are still having KPs because of the very similar but different KP message "Your computer was shut down because of a problem."

Have you tried this:

Thanks for the feedback. I tried the "How to fix ..." link above and didn't have the file listed therein, but I did discover a "Shutdown Stall ..." log is being generated after each shutdown, which seems likely to be the cause of the start-up dialog box that appears.

The odd thing is that shutdowns seem instantaneous — I always quit all apps prior to doing so — so I have no idea what could be triggering that log file. If anyone has seen this and has ideas, please post.

I'll check out OnyX. Thanks again.
