People who aren't tech savvy? My mom? My grandfather who is just starting to use his first computer.

Where has your grandfather been for the past 25 years? How could it take anyone more than five or ten minutes to grasp the essentials of pc/mac use?
 
After restart keayboard is without light, i must press f6 to turn it on again.
 
Anybody know what the firmware update contained? I noticed it loaded on my 2015 13" rMBP - got the gray screen first then the black.

Speaking of actual 'improvements,' there was Snow Leopard (10.6).

I've still got a mid-2012 MBA. If I could get Snow Leopard on it, I'd be perfectly fine sticking with that forever on it.

The high point for OSX, it seems.

When the times are actually an improvement, you'll have an argument to make out of that.

Still a HUGE problem using a Logitech mouse (G700) with or without Logitech Gaming Software driver in Safari. When scrolling slowly the mouse wheel, Safari, won't scroll at all. Scrolling in general is very laggy! I don't know how to fix this. Please advise!

Can you still see it in System Information.app?

Yep. I kill the process and it restarts. My external speakers are plugged into the headphone jack. Pull the plug and it switches to internal speakers. Internal speaker doesn't work either. If I switch to HDMI I can get sound.

I haven't read through this thread so someone may have already posted this, however this update hasn't fixed the bug that prompts you to enter your credentials for network volumes even if you have these saved in your keychain. Is a minor irritation, but still baffles me how something so obvious crept into 10.12 let alone 10.12.1

Crappy bugs like this didn't end up in GM releases in the days of Snow Leopard. ;-)

I'm pleased that I'm only running Sierra on my laptop and haven't yet updated my Mac Pro, which is my main desktop machine. Which is appropriate, really, because that's exactly what Apple haven't done to the Mac Pro itself for the last 3 years.

I have the same keychain issue with my Synology network drive. I'm currently running Sierra on a external SSD drive. I submitted a bug report weeks ago.

Does it fix the scrolling issues with mice? I had to revert from 10.12 to El Capitan because of that problem. And no, installing the latest Logitech software didn't fix the problem for me -- it actually made it worse. Reverting back to El Cap did fix the problem, but I'd love to go back to Sierra.

Can you please elaborate which mouse model you are using? I have the G700 and I just installed Logitech Gaming Software driver, it doesn't fix my problem: when scrolling slowly Safari won't react at all. I have to scroll like mad to actually scroll a page. Also scrolling isn't smooth, but very laggy.

UPDATE: I have paired my Logitech MX Master mouse via Bluetooth: same result. Scrolling sucks!

This sounds very nightmarish. I hadn't updated my Mac Mini yet, but I believe it would be helpful, if when people are having issues that they would also post what they are updating so the rest of us can make informed decisions.
Anyone with a 2012 Mac Mini Quad i7 have any issues with this update or Sierra in general?

I have the G700s. It was fine with El Capitan. No problems at all.

Scrolling sucked from day one with Sierra using the drivers that shipped with Sierra. I couldn't do slow, precise scrolling anymore because even though I'd be moving the scroll wheel and it would be clicking, my screen wasn't scrolling. It was only after I scrolled more quickly with the scroll wheel that the scrolling was recognized in Sierra. It sounds like you're seeing the same thing.

A few weeks ago, I took a gamble and installed the Logitech Gaming Software for Mac because someone here on the MR forums mentioned a few weeks back that he had a G700s working fine in Sierra with the Logitech Gaming Software also installed.

When I installed the Logitech Gaming Software, however, I found that the scrolling problem persisted in both Sierra and my Parallels VMs. There was also a new problem -- my Parallels VMs suddenly had laggy cursor movement. The cursor was a second or two behind my actual mouse movement. This was only in the Parallels VMs, though -- which is odd because I didn't install any Logitech software inside the VMs.

As soon as I did a Time Machine restore back to El Capitan, all mouse problems completely disappeared.

Anyway, I'm not optimistic that 10.12.1 has fixed the mouse problem so I'm likely going to stick with El Cap for a while. I definitely won't be installing Logitech software on my computer again. I've categorized their software as junky and largely unnecessary for years -- and for good reason, it would appear.
