Black screen after windows 10 update


Recommended Posts

i have a dell laptop that was running windows 7. I updated to windows 10 via windows update, the update was downloaded and began installing but now it sits at a blank screen after the windows splash screen.

I can access the recovery options when I force crash the machine but there are no restore points to choose from and windows can't automatically fix start up problems. 

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks in advance

There was a bios update offered for the same issue with Windows 8.1 maybe this is needed again on the model you have

Try an external display on the laptop if you have one

  Overview

On some Dell computers, customers who upgrade to Windows 8 may find that their computer reboots to a black screen after the upgrade has completed. This issue can be fixed with an updated system BIOS for the affected systems.

I updated a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 to 10 last night had the same black screen issue, an external monitor allowed me to complete the upgrade.  Now to update the drivers...

Edit: As I was searching online for the drivers for my device I stepped away from the computer for a moment (coffee break...) when I returned the screen (still external monitor) read that there had been an error and that the device was restarting.  After it restarted I decided to test if the restart had perhaps solved the issue, it had not but I decided to try a full shut down and see if that made a difference.  I shut down the device, unplugged the external screen and powered the device back up, this time the main screen worked and the computer is now running smoothly.  One thing that I did notice, when the computer had started after the update, and again after the restart, I received an error message stating that C:\Windows\System32\LogiLDA.dll had not started/was not working however after the shut down when I started the device I did not receive this message.  Hope this helps someone, the external monitor tip from arachnoid was a life saver for me.  Thanks arachnoid!

I has same thing happen to me yesterday. Banged my head against a wall multiple times until I turned my TV on ( 2nd monitor). Seems like Windows 10 doesn't like 2nd monitor at all so I had to physically pull the plug on my TV monitor ( disconnect a cable). I also to set my main monitor as primary to my desktop too.

If you have only 1 monitor, boot to installation disk > (F8), go to safe mode with networking and see if it works. Try to update video drivers while there.

Also in safe mode go to Power Options > Choose what power button do > Change setting that currently unavailable, and uncheck Turn On Fast Startup.

Hi, just attempted to install windows 10 but kept getting a screen flicker that won't allow me access.  A number of apps appear then go again.  Any ideas people

I had a similar thing. I thought my install was broken but it just defaulted to my HDTV, which I usually have turned off. Microsoft really should add some colour or other visual indications—at least on a new install—as it's not obvious what has happened. It's just one of many poor design choices.

Do you have any secondary screens connected?

Probably not cause it's a laptop but it  sure does look like it.

Upon installation windows should really duplicate desktop to both screen instead of outputting to the one listed as the computer screen cause it's often not the one the user want to use as the main display.

I did find an interesting problem on an E6500 Latitude upgraded from 8.1 to 10.

Once the upgrade was done, and all the latest drivers were installed by Windows 10 automatically... black screen after the windows booting graphic.

I was able to teamviewer into it, and noticed this was the issue. "Adjust my screen brightness automatically" was "On". It is located under Start>Settings>System>Display and about half-way down.

Turned this off via teamviewer, and viola, the user could see the screen again.

When it was black, it was totally off, not like looking at a LCD screen with it turned all the way down, just totally black.

If you don't have a remote software installed, perhaps hookup an external monitor to adjust the setting.

    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The most consequential argument in technology right now is not about which model is smartest or which chip is fastest. It is about whether the entire enterprise is a generational revolution or the largest financial bubble ever inflated — and the unsettling answer, increasingly, is that it may be both at once.,,,, https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318138/20260610/ai-revolution-ai-bubble-trillion-dollar-question-splitting-wall-street-silicon-valley.htm This is a very good read.  For what it is worth, I agree with the answer to the question.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close.

Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.4 Release Notes Notable changes: DRM now uses a per-site permission, instead of allowing all requested sites access, when DRM is enabled.

    • Stopped using Windows as my main workflow. Migrated completed to Linux. Been happier than a clam without a single issue nor windows annoyance. Leaving Windows has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather I went through the tunnel and I'm already at the light.
