    Hello all,

    I found a fix for this issue through following steps.

    For issue were you are getting black screen with white cursor

    >Press Ctrl+Alt+Del

    >Go to 'Services' tab

    >Look for 'AppReadiness'

    >Right click and stop it.

    Make sure you disable the same after login into Windows.

    >Click start and type 'Services'

    >Look for 'AppReadiness'

    >Right click and select 'Properties'

    >Startup type should be set to 'Disabled'

    >Set the 'Service Status' to Stopped.

    This solution worked for me. Let me know if this worked for others as well.

    Regards,

    Shameem

    Hi,

    There may be several reasons why you may encounter a black screen after an update. One of which may be caused by an incompatible graphics card driver. It may also be caused by a corrupted system file. To better assist you and provide you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Are you able to see the sign in screen and login?
    • Are you able to see the Start menu, task bar, and your desktop icons?
    • Have you tried performing any troubleshooting steps?

    We'll be looking forward for your response.

    I have a similar issue.

    I can login and  see the desktop after whichit disappears and black screen with with cursor.  Pressing ctrl+ alt+ delete shows different options 

    On clicking task manager

    It doesn't work .

    Can not access the task manager either...
