In 2016, Apple began including an automatic operating feature of the new MacBook models that were activated when opening a notebook cover or connected to the USB-C energy when the cap is open. This is a great small comfort if you do not want the added step to press the power button – in addition to that it may operate the computer if this button stops for some reason.
But what if you only open the cap to clean the screen or explore it to explore the computer from some other problems? Or maybe you Slabtop building And you don’t want to run it just because you connected it to power? Or what if you don’t want to automate everything? In these cases, the power of cars is either a simple inconvenience or a direct inconvenience.
The first MacBooks devices that get this feature with Intel processors, and continued in each new model, including when Apple turned into its Silicon M processors. There is a peripheral matter for Intel Macbooks that can be used to disable the power of the open cap, but when I launched the Apple M1 MacBook Air in 2020, this no longer works. However, in January 2025, Apple recently added an official way to disable Autoboot when opening the M1 cover and the latest MacBooks.
Here’s how to disable the power of cars when opening a Mac cover.
Disable automatic power operation on MacBook Silicon MacBook Apple
You think that Apple will only add “power enabled when opening the cap” in the system settings, but this would be very easy. Instead, you will have to do some work under your MacOS program via a special peripheral matter that Apple has done.
It will work, according to Apple, on all Silicon Apple models that run MacOS 15 Sequoia. However, we also successfully tested MacOS 14.7 Sonoma. To refer to it, these instructions are for the latest models such as MacBook Air 2020 M1, 2024 14 -inch and 16 -inch with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips.
Here’s how to disable Autoboot when opening the cap and / or connecting the energy while opening the cap on the MacBook Silicon M Apple:
- Log in to your MacBook with a responsible account (if you are the only user, it is likely to be already responsible).
- Open Hall The app from Applications> Utilities Folder. You can get there from researcher Going to Go the list On the toolbar and selection bar Applications.
- In Terminal, copy and paste one of the following orders, depending on what you want, then click Return:
- If you want to disable Autoboot when opening the cap or when connecting a charger while opening the cap:
- Sudo Nvram BootprenderCE = % 00
- If you want to disable Autoboot only when opening the cap:
- Sudo Nvram BootprenderCE = % 01 %
- If you want to disable Autoboot only when connecting the charger:
- Sudo Nvram BootprenderCE = % 02
- The station will ask you at the time of the official’s password. Enter your user password (you will not appear you are writing). Then click Return.
Now you can stop the computer, close the cap and test if it works.
To return your settings to the default settings, follow the steps above, but enter this instead:
- Sudo Nvram -D Bootprender
Disable the power of cars on Intel MacBook
Are you still shaking in 2016 or MacBook based on the latest Intel? If he is still working and doing what you need to do, this is great! But if Autoboot the upgrade bother you – for example, if you are trying to build a header or head or Slabtop MacBook – This peripheral matter can fix this.
Here’s how to disable Autoboot when opening the cap or connecting the power while opening the cap on the Intel MacBook:
- Log in to your MacBook with a responsible account (if you are the only user, it is likely to be already responsible).
- Open Hall The app from Applications> Utilities Folder. You can get there from researcher Going to Go the list On the toolbar and selection bar Applications.
- In Terminal, copy the next matter and paste in the window and then click Return:
- Sudo Nvram Autoboot = % 00
- The station will ask you at the time of the official’s password. Enter your user password (you will not appear you are writing). Then click Return.
Now, you can stop the computer, close the cap and test it if it is working.
To back down from your preparation to the default, follow the steps above until you reach the station, but enter this instead:
Enjoy the no autoboot!
