That happens when you reduce laptop's display brightness at minimum and a shutdown occurs. You have to increase brightness with Fn+Insert when macOS boots up.

 

Also if you update let's say from 10.12.4 to 10.12.5 or any macOS update... you probably (it's best to) need to rebuild your kernel cache to avoid kexts not being loaded (sound, trackpad, etc) when the OS starts.

 

And it's recommended to keep your kexts updated to the latest stable versions available (just in case... keep your bootable USB close :P)
