Windows 10: After update: Black screen with spinning loading circle

Well that PC I worked on yesterday, the guys mouse was broken when he got it home so he couldn't do any right or left clicks.

Sounds like you might have to do a system refresh or something. Or try to boot to the recovery partition if you can.

Yeah when I had anniversary ed force updated into the system I was working on, it changed the entire login experience. But in general all of my apps and users and settings were intact.

 

Saved the day, if not the week.....Instant painless fix when removed wireless mouse dongle!!!!

 

I unplugged the USB dongle and the update continued.

 

I just like to report that I have tried the method suggested and it worked for me!

The Windows 10 1607 Update has been failing since Sep 2016. It was stuck at the spinning circle screen. Every time I just let it restored to the previous version. Until lately did I start looking for solution. I applied the fix from Microsoft and verified that the registry key was removed, but it was still occurring.

Yesterday, after reading this thread, I tried the update again, and at the spinning circle screen where it was stuck, I unplugged my wireless mouse dongle and the update process continued.

Thank you all!

 

I am having issues with the black screen with the spinning circle. The computer will sometimes do this. When I do unplug the USB dongle for my keyboard and mouse, it will bring up my windows starting screen, but when I plug the dongle back in, the keyboard and mouse do not respond at all until I restart the computer again and hope that it will come up. I know this was a problem a while back and that Microsoft put out a fix for this problem, but the fix must not have worked for me. So I need to know what I should try next. I was about ready to format the hard drive on this particular computer and go back to Windows 7 or even Linux.

 

it's not a windows 10 update problem put your old graphics card back in let it load the screen then take it back out and put it the newest one you have that solved my problem.
