    Black screen on initial boot


    Acer laptop running 10 Home fully updated.

    Turn the power on and the computer boots very quickly to a very dark black screen. I can just make out the desktop but not clearly enough to do anything. Power off then on again and it boots correctly but very slowly.

    Any ideas please?

    :)

    Unable to start Windows 10 after Anniversary Update

    Has bricked my desktop. After installing, screen goes black. Then I tried booting from recovery disk, screen goes black. I can't even get into safe mode. Essentially computer is dead.. So all I can see is the initial boot logo, then the screen goes black.
    I can hit f12 to boot from recovery disk, but then screen goes black.

    Original title: Anniversary Update

    Black screen on initial boot

    Try Turn Off Fast Startup, then shutdown and turn on the laptop again. See what it will produce this time.
