Causes recurring logout on M1 Macbook Pro 2021 #20

I moved the shutdown, restart, sleep and log out shortcuts to Applications. Now whenever I log into my mac, without running any command, my mac logs itself out in about 10 seconds.

Took me 20 tries, but I was able to delete the shortcuts in those 10 seconds, and as soon as I did that, the issue went away.

Same issue for me on my MacBook Air M1 2021 except it was when I ran the Restart.app. After logging in it would automatically restart after about 10 seconds.

For the longest time I've had this issue and not understood why - these apps feel so integrated into the OS I forgot I was even using them! Thanks @shashwatblack for commenting, was really annoying. Any time I restart, the laptop goes in to a loop restarting itself immediately on logging back in. The only way to escape the cycle is to boot to options and restart in safe mode.

@iporter Apparently, this was already noted in a previous issue (https://github.com/siong1987/shortcuts/issues/9); following the comments I downloaded Alfred. I haven't seen the video in its entirety yet but some redditors have referenced this video as being a great example of how its used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YreMtfehE4

Quick glance implies it's what Spotlight was always trying to do

+1 on Alfred. I've also been using the system commands from Alfred for sleep/restart/shutdown. It's customizable and works perfectly.

I think this issue is a duplicate of #9. This issue should be closed.
