Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I updated to El Capitan yesterday and since I have not been able to shut down my macbook. The top bar disappears but I can still move the mouse and click on applications. The only way I can shut it down is by holding the power button! Is there any way this can be fixed?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
I'm having the exact same problem, which has been going on for a few weeks now. At some point I notice something funny, usually with Finder. For example, I'll open a folder and won't see all the files that I know are in there. Finder then either crashes or just continues to not work properly, and won't relaunch correctly. It remains 'not responding' until I hold down the power button to shut down. Shutting down/Restarting/Logging off through normal means doesn't work at this point. I've tried all the usual suspects like NVRAM.
Sorry to keep adding to it but I just tried creating a new user to see if it would shut down correctly on there and it does. So i'm assuming its defiantly a third party application causing the problem on my user?
Im also sure I uninstalled RealTimes and Focus ages ago but they seem to be there so would they be causing the problem? Also do you know how I can get rid of them for good? Thanks
Bit of a guess on my part. Uninstall CGAgent:

See if there is a change.
Ciao.
Ok, thanks! I spend last night trying to fix it and I thought I hadn't but when I pressed shut down it seemed to work!! I don't know what I did but hopefully it will continue to work. Thank you for all of your help though!
I also remember uninstalling click free so that may have been what caused the problem!
Hi!
I had the same problem, but noticed that the problem was gone when I shut down the MBP from the external monitor I use (MBP lid closed). So i suspected the problem was mirroring. I hade both monitors running (open lid and external monitor on) and changed mirroring options, under system preferences-->display, to mirroring default (retina). Schabang!! problem solved :-)
Hope this helps
I had a similar problem. Air Display 2.0 that was by default opening upon start up; I use it sometimes to use as a second display for my Macbook Pro, 15 inch, Mid 2015, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 7. Disconnected this option, forced quit and restarted. Problem solved for me.
Since updating to El Capitan it will not let my macbook pro won't shut down unless I hold the power button. Fix?
