Performing a SMC & NVRAM Reset on Apple Silicon (M1 & M2)

 

You can’t reset the SMC, because the M1 Mac doesn’t have a System

Management Controller. You also can’t manually reset the NVRAM / PRAM because

your Mac does this automatically, if needed, during every startup.

 

Best course of Action is to Restart Your Mac.
