I upgraded my Macbook Pro retina 10,1 (early 2013) to Sierra and encountered some problems with shutdown/restart. Sometimes fans stay on for around 5-10 seconds after shutdown (screen off/lights off). It did not happen while on 10.10.

Update: The problem seems to be connected to software... but I see it more rarely now - only on some rare occasions (Maybe indexing had to do something with it and initiated the problem more often as well).
I encounter this, for example, sometimes when switching from bootcamp partition to macOS and then shutting the system down afterwards (screen goes out/lights off but I can still hear a fan (not really loud) for about 10-15 secs). However, sometimes it happens on simple Sierra restart/shutdown process as well (rarely and I do not know in which specific cases).

If this happens on restart - it simply hangs my mac with blank screen for around 10 seconds before it starts to boot again. Normally shutdown/restart until boot process takes only around 4 seconds.

Windows 10 on bootcamp partition shuts down almost immediately with no problems.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated...
