After updating mac mini m4 to 15.4, pressing and holding the power button cannot arouse recovery mode

Press and hold the power on button At first, the power-on light came on, and then after a while, about ten seconds, the monitor didn't wake up, and then it turned off. Originally, I used an external hard disk as the system, and always used the external hard disk as my boot preference. After unplugging the external hard disk, it will automatically boot to recovery mode when it is turned on, and then I just choose the built-in system to boot. But after the internal and external systems are upgraded to 15.0; When you unplug the external hard disk and turn it on, the power-on time becomes longer, and at the end, the power-on light turns amber and flashes. The solution is currently to shut down by long pressing first Then press and hold the power button until it turns off Press and hold the power button again until it is turned off Finally, press the boot briefly, and you will enter recovery mode and select built-in boot. But what is particularly strange is why I can't enter recovery mode by long pressing the power-on button, and I shut it down directly. Is it changed?

    Hello boss, 👋, I also encountered the same problem as you. I followed your prompts but failed. Is it convenient for a vx in ➕ to ask

    @ Anonymous6037 I've changed it to the default built-in startup now, and I won't try it. So the only way I can tell you is to press and hold the power button a few more times.

    @ Poster Thank you for your reply, I fumbled for a long time to repair the system through DFU mode, and I can already enter the built-in system 👌

    After tossing with senior Apple experts on the phone for an hour, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to use the built-in system first, and the external system had crashed

    @ Anonymous5653 I now use the built-in default boot. When I want to connect to the external one, I just press and hold the power button to switch. Can't boot externally by default like before. If it is booted externally by default, there is no external hard drive, and the built-in system can't get up.
