I'm stuck at a black screen with just a mouse cursor now. No tiles, no taskbar, just did a NVidia driver update and I believe one other update via Windows update. Mouse clicks of keyboard presses do nothing. I can move the cursor around but that's it. Pressing the power button to get it to shut down also does nothing. Hard drive light is flashing so I'll just let it run for a while and see if it recovers. Otherwise I'll have to force a shutdown.
I had to force a restart. The modern UI took forever to load, had no tiles and clicking The Start button did nothing for at least 2 minutes. Windows update shows up to date, but update history shows NVidia driver update failed. Looks like the other update was just a defender update.
Now I'm wondering if it will try to install that failed update again? If I manually run Windows update it just reports, all up to date? Update history shows it failed? I'm just going to leave it be for now. It would really suck for Windows 10 to crash and burn now.
No, I don't. I can take it. I've been testing and submitting pieces of feedback to Microsoft (over 200) since January.
And there's no need to suggest that if an update causes problems, we should not express our disbelief taking into account the closeness to July 29.
Moreover, if you really think that something like this will never happen to non-Insider's, well... Then you haven't been paying too much attention over the last months and how Microsoft has released updates and messed up a lot of systems on Windows 8.1 or previous versions.
So, suit yourself.
