Hello, I just bought myself a new MacBook Pro 15" touch bar. After starting it up for the first time and running all the updates, when shutting down my Mac and starting it up again my profile picture now is now showing a black profile user and I'm unable to login using my fingerprint. My other admin user is working fine. However if I login with a password its working but its taking longer than normal to login. Sometimes it makes the Mac crash aswell. What can I do? If I log out then suddenly the profile picture is showing.
Got a tip for us?

Seems like it wont shut down either when choosing shut down. Something is seriously wrong with this profile.
Also had this after yesterdays' first setup configuration. All I did is updated the profile picture in my iCloud, then again updated the profile picture under account settings. All works since then
I get the image with my name on reboot/startup, but it does not delay and once up my picture is attached to the account.
I did a few fresh re-installs with migration, with out migration. I found my picture would appear every time until I turned File Vault on and encrypted the disk. Once my disk is encrypted I get the shadow instead of the picture.
Again it is a bit annoying my iMac does not do this, but it adds no delay to the startup process. If I decrypt my disk it will show my contact picture on start up but that is not an option for me.

[doublepost=1482440435][/doublepost]Well, i got the picture back but there is something wrong here. If i select the other user in the login screen the computer crashes. Also there is a graphical glitch when logging in. Guess i just have to reinstall the whole machine. Bummer first experience with mac os.
Did a full reinstall now, everything's fine now
Are you running FileVault, encrypted disk?
