I guess I could bring media home and rerun the upgrade, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach. Even if I can I'm not sure exactly what to do. When I get home I'm going to see if I can use another computer to get to c$, or maybe remote registry. I have to think that this is a video driver issue, but I'm not sure how to address it. I tried blindly typing the password in case it was sitting on the login screen. I went into the BIOS and disabled everything I could but it didn't help. If I close the lid it seems to go to sleep properly, and seems to wake up. It looks like it continues to boot, as there is disk activity. I get the little spinning dots for a couple of seconds and then the screen goes blank. I couldn't ctrl-alt-del, so I just powered it off and tried rebooting.

But there was disk activity so it didn't look frozen. I didn't sit and watch it, but I did look over a couple of times and saw the percentage circle and saw it reboot - the usual stuff.īut at some point I just got a blank screen. This occurs because the devices have OEM factory images that were released with registry keys that conflict with the app readiness service.

When restarting Windows 10 Version 1703 after a Microsoft Store application update is installed, some Windows 10 devices may experience a black screen for 5-10 minutes. It's a Dell Vostro with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Two kinds of trouble computer trouble, and, well, you know. So yesterday I decided to upgrade my wife's laptop and now I have troubles. I have upgraded several computers to Windows 10 without any problems. Tl/dr: how to fix probable video driver problem after upgrade?
