    homescreen completely black?


    i just got my computer back from the repair shop it's old, the fan didn't work-- has some wear on it and retrobar was being a little buggy, as it usually is when i start my computer and it's still running. it started up weirdly, when i tried to plug it in it wouldn't begin charging. eventually, i fixed this, and logged on to my computer. retrobar was being too weird to use properly, so i closed the program-- only for me to minimize a window and find my whole home screen was black, no apps, no taskbar, nothing, save for a small, rounded red rectangle in the lower left corner. when i clicked o

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond homescreen completely black? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

    changing Homescreen options

    I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:

    Do the following to change it:

    Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:


    homescreen completely black? 196682d1532249934t-changing-homescreen-options-image.png


    A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:


    homescreen completely black? 196683d1532250029t-changing-homescreen-options-image.png


    Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:

    Click Stop protecting:


    homescreen completely black? 196685d1532250215t-changing-homescreen-options-image.png


    Confirm:


    homescreen completely black? 196686d1532250247t-changing-homescreen-options-image.png


    That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.
