Many are upgrading their OS to Windows 10, however, it’s not always smooth sailing because users have been reportedly experiencing different bugs including Black Screen after a successful update.
One common issue in installing Windows 10 is the appearance of a black screen after installation. This usually occurs when the user restarts the computer. Initially, there will be a black screen only appearing on the monitor. There are also cases where a mouse cursor is present, while some cases have no cursor at all.
Not only that, it seemed that you’ve lost all your desktop icons when experiencing this bug.
Error CausesJust like the other bugs experienced by Windows 10 users, booting to a black screen has reasons. Before you even try to look for the solution, you first have to determine the cause of the error, in this case, the error would be black screen when booting.
If error messages are left unsolved, you may encounter other Windows 10 related issues such as error code 0xc0000142.
Before you even think of upgrading your OS to Windows 10, you need to know that there are specific system requirements and specifications to be able to successfully update your operating system.
There are more system requirements in order to use other certain Windows 10 features, but we’ll focus on solving your black screen problem in this article.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While it’s possible that you’ll be able to find the solution for your black screen during Windows 10 update, contacting the service of a professional technician or using an automated tool is advisable if you’re not confident in performing the methods to be discussed.
There’s a chance that you’ll get an error prompt saying, “installation cannot be completed in safe mode.” If this happens, simply press Shift + F10. This command will redirect you to the Command Prompt. You just open Device Manager by keying in devmgmt.msc then disable the display adapters, now check if you’ll be able to successfully boot in normal mode.
This process will normally allow you to complete the Windows 10 installation, if that’s the case you can just update the display adapter drivers from the manufacturer’s website. Restart your computer and see if this solves the problem.
Do take note, however, that the Roll Back Driver option is not available if there was no previous version installed.
Since one common cause of black screen during a Windows 10 update is the external devices you use in your computer, you might want to consider these steps as well.
Some Windows 10 users had success in solving their black screen problem by disabling the fast startup.
