Find My Mac on Macbook Pro m2 pro not turning on.

My 14-inch MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, macOS 26.7) shows Find My Mac as On in iCloud settings, but my Apple Account device details say it’s Off. System Information shows “Activation Lock Status: Disabled,” and the Mac is absent from iCloud.com/find. Location Services, Find My permissions, two-factor authentication, and Full Security are enabled. I’ve restarted, reset Find My Mac, and tried the Safe Mode reset. Anyone experiencing something similar?

I followed the steps to run first aid (Disk Utility) in recovery mode and it worked. Thanks.
