I look at it like this. Microsoft made the "car", so I guess they should know what to put under the "hood". If something isn't quite right, they will correct it in the next update.

The next update was released today. Fixed? I don't think so..

Every timeI boot , I get a black screen before I see the blue with the blue dot circle. Also when a windows update is installed what is being installed on my machine is hidden by a black screen. MS may have provided a free update but I still own my PC and I would like to see what is being installed on it. Is MS trying to hide something, If not why not lest users see it..?

We basically just talking about with updates or is this a regular occurrence when you boot up ? Restarts is when see the blue screen with the circle occurs just as it is restarting. Mine jump after blue screen to black then show my Motherboard logo with white dot circle then go to the lock screen. When update being configured during restart is this when it is black ?

There are 8 computers in our home used by 4 people (4 desktops and 4 laptops, all different models). All are using Windows 10 with no issues whatsoever. I can only speak to what I have observed.

All I can say is that with Windows 7, when it booted I got the Bios logo then it went directly into the boot menu without a 2 or 3 second black screen. I am glad for you Antelope but I have some issues with updates, while it is updating, the update process is block by a black screen. I am not the only one that has had this problem. It has been posted before. It is not really a problem , it is end issue where MS does not want the end user to see what is going on. So you have 4 people using 8 computers, 2 for everyone. Well Here we have two people with two PC's. Once widows boots, I have no problems. My problem is with MS and not my machine./

Just downloaded and caused blue screen during reboot. Only 2 patches for me, also.

updated mine ok... I too have issue with a blank screen between hp logo at initial boot or reboot then a 5 or 10 second delay before the blue screen with the windows 10 circle then I can login in.... total boot to login time about 2 or 3 minutes...I didn't have this issue with 8.1

Had to install the other two before KB3081448 showed up.

Only blue screen I see is the Windows Update one... I restart my computer, it shows up, my computer restarts, goes through the POST and stuff, what would be the boot screen is replaced by my motherboard's logo and then my screen goes black for a second as it cycles through the various input types, which now takes only a mere second, then the blue update screen comes up, then it loads right to the lock screen.

Someone on reddit is saying they have two new WiFi settings after the update, but I am not seeing them. Here are pics of these two new settings. Random Hardware Addresses when connecting to new networks and/or to the current network you're connected.

I get no such options after updating and I'm on WiFi.

I've noticed that black screen effect. The only times I've seen it happen is after downloading updates that require a restart. After it applies the updates, all of the boot/reboot times go back to normal.
