I have a TouchID MacBook Pro. I’m trying to reset the SMC, but the process (hold down the power button for 10 seconds) just seems to power up the thing normally. As in it comes on after three or four seconds. Has the process changed or is something just buggy with it?

If that doesn't resolve the issue, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Apple menu > Shut Down.
  2. After your Mac shuts down, press and hold the right Shift key, the left Option key, and the left Control key for 7 seconds. Then keep holding those keys while you press and hold the power button for another 7 seconds.
  3. Release all three keys and the power button, then wait a few seconds.
  4. Press the power button again to turn on your Mac.
