Does anyone know why i can't change the battery settings of adapter settings on mij macbook air M1? The settings are grey so i can't clock them. Sorry i'm not allowed to place a screenshot here :(
Maybe it's something really dumb? But i can;t find it.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4
Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Defrag, VPNs etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS and may even Corrupt the OS requiring a Reinstallation. The Built-in Security of Big Sur is all that is required.

With " uninstalling F-Secure did the trick " not too much more to ut things right. The computer is functioning as it should ? Then leave well enough alone.
Only added thing is to consider is a Rescue Plan. This comprises having 3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 Off Site incase of Theft, Loss or Natural Disasters. A Time Machine Backup is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS. For addition purposes - two Tested Bootable Clones each to separate external drives. This is insurance incase the upgrades goes sideways. At least one Tested Clone and / or Time Machine Backup should be Off - Site

Regarding the screenshots: if you use command-shift-3 the image may be too large to post. Press command-shift-4 and drag to select the relevant area of your screen.
Something that is running in your account when you boot normally is causing a problem.

The Report indicates the System is a real mess and heavily altered plus running Antivirus Software F-Secure and No Rescue Plan.
If I were you, and I am not, would wipe the entire drive and reinstall a Clean Copy of Big Sur and be very very selective as to what was installed.
Thanks for your answer and uninstalling F-Secure did the trick. All my files are on icloud and at home i backup on my other system with time machine. So rescue plan is in place.
Can you tell me what else is causing my system to be al real mess? It's not that old and i didn't install that much.
Here is the report. Thanks for helping!
In safe mode i could change the settings, but after rebooting normally i can't :(
Yes that’s what I did to make the screenshot. Maybe still to large.
As P. Philips said, get rid of F-secure. This is likely causing the problem and it should not be there anyway.
