hp pavillion laptop updated to the latest build 1709 resulted in the screen being black with mouse after login. I have returned to previous build, updated the graphics driver (although the intel graphics driver is still from 2015) and am now in the process of reinstalling update 1709 waiting to see if this has fixed it.
Many users are having the same/similar problems & if you can log in via safe mode the solution is to turn off use sign-in info to auto finish setting up device after update or restart in Windows 10.
For Windows 10 (Version 1709), select the Start button, select Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options, then make sure Use my sign in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart is turned off.
For previous versions of Windows 10, select the Start button, select Settings > Update & security > Window Update > Advanced options, then select the check box next to Use my sign in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update.
Another potential solution is to remove any USB devices (wireless mouse, keyboard, external hard drive/s) & wait to see if boot continues, if not then to restart with devices still disconnected (if possible).

its currently preparing (i think) 1709 update so i have done what you mentioned. no devices plugged into it. i updated the latest chipset and gfx drivers from the hp site as well
Yes the graphics card can do this, I had a black screen after an nVidia update (using their GeForce experience software) which I had to uninstall in safe mode then install a fresh copy of the driver from the nVidia website & do a clean install.

well its the same problem exists after doing the above. im stumped
I have installed your WIN 10 PESE to boot my Windows 10 onto my desktop as my system started having the issue of just showing a black screen with a white cursor. I tried all the tricks on the forums but could not get past it.
I could not do a system restore, nor revert to a previous version. I really need to keep all my program files for work. So installed your platform, all my files seem fine and in good order. But I am thinking there is something missing in the boot or a windows file thats preventing my system from booting properly.
I have installed the DISM tool but after running say the 1 option and pressing enter I get this:
Error: 50
DISM does not support servicing Windows PE with the /Online option.
My main drive is C: and its partition is X:
Not sure what to do. Whats the best approach to repair or find out whats messed up with the boot system or windows files?
I really don't want to wipe all my programs from my C drive and start over as its painful.
Certainly appreciate any advice.
Thanks
I'm reading mores & more users with the same problem, one thought is that the user profile has become corrupt & the solution is to create a new one within cmd prompt under task manager. From the black screen press ctrl alt del to open task manager -> file -> run new task type "cmd.exe" without quotes, and check the admin privileges box. in cmd: type: net user /add [username] [password] username and password without [] press enter, then type: net localgroup administrators [username] /add broo0d comments on Black screen when trying to log in to windows
