Issues with drivers? Or is it Windows 10?

[indospot Veteran]

Well, this problem just came up on my computer. This all happened in Windows 10, Build 9926.

?I got an update on Windows Update, for my AMD driver. I tried installing it and it caused a black screen on boot though. I could get to the boot selection screen normally (due to the Windows Rollback bug), but upon selectiing the Tech Preview, it was all black. I tried rebooting, but to no avail. I did a system restore to earlier today. I could now boot, but my Start menu was gone.

?I've tried re-installing drivers, restoring to an older restore point, but nothing brings the menu back. Please help.

 

Thank you in advance.

this is why i installed windows 10 in a vm player if it breaks just delete the vm image and reinstall just like you would if you installing it on a computer the latest two updates were not build updates but KB files  they were preparing the update for the new build coming out in the coming months i was thinking for a moment your trying to use it maybe as a working OS and clearly its work in progress so expect these things to happen sorry if i couldn't help but i hope this short story did.     https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-has-released-three-new-patches-for-windows-10-build-9926-new-build-coming-soon

I think these problems are due to drivers that Windows update is pushing for 9926. A generic soundcard on my Win 10 laptop suddenly stopped working and no matter how many times I tried uninstall-reinstall of the driver, it didn't work. I had to download original Win7 driver from Sony to finally get it working.
