Windows 10: Black screen at startup after windows 10 update.

After the latest windows 10 update, my computer keeps getting a black screen at startup. I have not been able to get past it. It worked perfectly prior to the update.


Is there any known way to fix this? Or am I going to have to take some sort of legal matters since Microsoft has turned my pc into a big paperweight?


Please help!

Windows 7 black screen of death

I read a report a little while ago that said the black screens were nothing to do with updates but due to a malicious program (it hit more than just windows 7 users - vista, xp and 2000 were also prone to the black startup screen of death if infected). My windows 7 install is fully up-to-date and i've never had the black startup screen.

Just run some decent anti virus and you should be safe (i suggest microsoft security essentails since it's free and pretty decent). When you've installed an anti-virus i'd suggest doing a full scen to be sure there's nothing there.
