  1. Black screen during update


    Hello,I have been having this problem for a few years now and none of the solutions actually helped me, because it talks about black screen after updating. My screen goes black during an update. I don't know if the computer then still updates or not. My drivers are up to date.My computer is still on 1703, I am currently trying to update to 20H2. It downloaded fine and then started the updating by rebooting once, that went fine, then after the second reboot... black screen. Is it still updating during the black screen?If so, when do I shut it off.What can I do to fix this?

    :)
