Can't shutdown MacBook Pro after upgrading to macOS High Sierra

Hi, I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro, i7, 16gb ram, 1tb SSD.


I recently upgraded to High Sierra, 10.13.3


I initially noticed that mail was no longer able to search properly - it fails to find e-mails that I can see are there and now the 'flagged' folder is empty despite me having just flagged 4 e-mails.


Then I noticed that spotlight can no longer find applications.


And finally, when I attempted to installed the latest High Sierra update, I realised that I can no longer restart - which I need to do to install. To shutdown I have to press the power key until I eventually power off.


Two days ago an application - Final Cut Pro X began to crash repeatedly when I attempted to copy something.


I have powered on whilst pressing cmd, option, p and r.


I have powered on whilst pressing ctrl, shift and option.


Can anybody help?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Hi Dominic23,


Thank you so much for your very detailed reply. I'm afraid though that your suggestion hasn't worked. 'Restart' still results in a black screen but keyboard still illuminated and cursor still visible (you can move the cursor too but I can't make it activate anything).


I also uninstalled the last bit of software I could remember updating before things started to go wrong - a thing called FxFactory but no luck.


Thank you so much for your help so far.
