Hi! I hope anybody can help with it: Recently, when I shut down my iMac Pro it restarted instead, and the message "your computer has restarted after crashing"... but it didn't crash apparently...
So, I've downloaded EtreCheck for the next analysis:
Thank you very much in advance!
iMac Pro, macOS 12.7
Does this happen every time you shutdown the iMac Pro...?
A one time occurrence, could have been caused by an external USB device or third-party software.
If it happens every time, disconnect all USB devices, quit all third-party software and test.
If that doesn't help, reset the SMC and the NVRAM, then test.
I would start by disconnecting all USB devices, network cables, and printers except mouse and keyboard, and seeing it that makes a difference.
It appears you may have torrent software installed.
QuickLook Previews (legacy):
QuickLookPlugin - /Applications/Transmission.app
com.bittorrent.torrent
org.bittorrent.torrent *.torrent
Torrent "phone home." That could be interfering with shutdown.
Things with "Clean" or "Cleaner" in their name can cause issues as they interfere with elegant self-maintenance routines you paid Apple to include in macOS.
The developer of EtreCheck addresses this:
Configuration Files:
File /etc/sysctl.conf exists but not expected

I'm not sure yours is a problem but give the article a read and see if anything sounds familiar.
Thanks yall for the feedback 😊
