Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi. Has anyone run into problems with rebooting or powering on since the new update? I am on Mac Pro (later 2013). Since the 10.14.3 update my system won't reboot properly. If I select restart, I get the chime but then my monitors stay black and one of them says no signal. I have had to power off for 20 secs or even pull the plug before I can power back on. I have tried zapping nvram but not sure it made any difference.
Thanks
Mac Pro, 10.14
Try an SMC reset:
How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
Try starting up in Safe Mode:
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support
If neither of those work boot into Recovery and Reinstall Mac OS.
About macOS Recovery - Apple Support
Try Single User Mode (hold command-s keys)
At the prompt, enter this command:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Press the Return key.
This will check your directory and report that it was OK or repaired. Then enter this command to startup normally:
reboot
If none of those work make a Genius Bar appointment for a free diagnostic:

The only problem I have is that waking from sleep it takes minutes for anything to appear on the screen. My Apple watch indicates that the MP is unlock fast after moving mouse to wake the MP but it takes minutes for anything to appear on the screen. However, this problem started before the last update.
Try resetting the NVRAM
Thanks. yeah I already tried that. Also ran the supplemental update last night. The frustrating thing right now is that I almost always run time machine before updating this Mac so that if the update is bad I can roll back. yup forgot to run time machine so now I am stuck and my last time machine was from months ago so lots of other apps have been installed since then. Ugh.
Can't restart after update
