Unable to startup in Safe Mode
I am having difficulty installing some software so I am trying to startup in Safe Mode to see if the problem still occurs. I restarted according to the instructions at Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support but it refuses to go into Safe Mode. Holding down power button until “Loading startup options” appears. Select volume and hold the Shift key. Then it just starts up as usual. The System Software Overview confirms that Boot Mode = Normal.
Tried several times with the same results.
I have a 2020 MacBook Air M1 running 12.4.
