  1. Blank Windows update screen in settings


    I wanted to download an app from the Microsoft store but got a message saying that I first need to enable my Windows Update. When I went into settings, the Windows Update screen was completely blank like shown in this picture below.I then tried using the Media Creation tool to update my system but still no luck. I don't know what to do at this point?!My only option at this point is to loose my apps that took ages to download since I can't afford faster internet and to reset my PC. Or is there maybe a better alternative?I am a student and therefore need my PC to study and attend online lecture

    :)

    Screen goes blank after changing BIOS settings/

    I don't know how long this has been happening, a few weeks at least, but whenever I change a setting in my BIOS (and save & exit), my screen goes blank and my monitor goes into standby. Any suggestions to fix this?

  3. Blank Screen

    Hi Virginia,

    Conflicts with third-party software and outdated graphic drivers are common contributors to the black screen issue that you're having. To isolate the said issue, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages before getting a blank screen?
    • Are you experiencing this when using a particular app?
    • Were there any changes made on your computer settings prior to this issue?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you refer to this
    article
    which talks about the steps you can take to resolve blank screen errors.

    We'll wait for your response and assist you accordingly.
