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

It is really prevalent when you upgrade. It seems like MS is trying to hide something. I sent something to MS about this, it probably went in the circular file.

2 desktop (clean install) & 1 laptop (update from win 8.1) installed these updates without issue.

Well same thing happens with last 2 updates from MS to me also. But I don't think MS is hiding anything, reason being is when it goes to the black screen on my computer, my hard drive lite never flashes or even a small flicker!! That means to me that its just frozen after rebooting. I turn it off at that point, then turn back on and it finishes updating on my screen which I CAN see.

Well you see that is my point. My PC does not freeze but how can one tell? I did what you did and completely ruined an upgrade as I thought nothing was happening. This needs to be corrected.

How you should be able to tell Gary is just watch your hard drive lite, far as I know every computer has one. Ok don't know if laptops do, cause I don't like them. but I would think even lap tops must have a lite for hard drive activity.

So lame changelog.... enhance you experience...yeah

That is what I do, one should not have to do this with the best OS that has ever came out of Redmond. Oh and BTW there are times during an upgrade where my HD activity led is not doing anything and all I have is a Black screen. This did not even happen on Windows ME.

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..?

When I boot, I get a very brief flash of the manufacturer's logo, then the BIOS post screen, Then the blue screen with the Windows logo, then a brief black screen, then the "Please wait" screen with the spinning logo, then another brief black screen, then the login screen with my picture (I skip the lock screen), and finally the desktop. Am I concerned? Not in the slightest since the exact same things happened with 8.1 and also do on my Windows 7 laptop. The black screens are normal operating procedure as far as I'm concerned. I have never had nor seen a Windows machine that didn't have them.

Wow interesting may I ask just how long your computer takes to boot?? I don't see all those screens, some of them, but not that many.
