Windows 10: Blackscreen without cursor if I try to upgrade Server 2016 to 2019

Update fails on first reboot and ends after the spinning wheel in a total black screen. No cursor. No reaction. Waited an hour.


Server 2016 was fine. Rebooting ends in 2016 again. All updates installed. No custom AV. AD service, hyper V, storage spaces. LSI controller. Supermicro board with IPMI.


I disabled secure boot. Same issue. Disabled meltdown and Spectre patches. Same issue. Xeon 1520.


Updated all drivers I could find. Still same.


Posted in Win 10 forum as it has to be the same there.


Ideas?

Windows Server 2019

My family is using Windows 2016 Essentials. What is our upgrade path to Windows 2019 Server? Our server has 2 cores.

 

Office 2019

Only supported on Win10. Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go.

Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10

Spoiler Office 2019
Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

• Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
• Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
  • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
  • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
• The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.
