    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,
