Windows 10: PC has problem starting after latest Windows update. Reboot causes screen to flash on & off...

Latest WINDOWS update has caused serious problems to start or reboot PC. When Wallpaper appears (which has changed with update) it will not allow to click to enter password. The screen will flash on & off for many minutes before password may be entered to start PC. Numerous attempts for Systems restore have Failed. This condition is not acceptable & fear it would happen to a replacement PC. This condition has occurred for a few days and numerous attempts to reboot has not changed this condition.

(KB3124262) causes flashing screen

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community.

We understand your concern and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Before we proceed, I would like to know what troubleshooting steps have you performed to resolve this issue.

There are two possible explanations for the issue to arise:

• an external device could be the culprit
• this issue could be due to outdated display drivers and updating them could make the black screen disappear.

To rectify the issue I would suggest that you perform the methods stated below to help us rectify the issue:

Method 1: Check the external devices

• When you are stuck on the Black Screen, unplug all external devices
• Restart the computer
• If the black screen has disappeared, add the devices back one at a time to see which piece of hardware is causing this issue
• Once identified, install updated drivers for that particular piece of hardware.

Method 2: Safe Mode.

Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It can help you troubleshoot problems on your PC.

Step 1:

Log into the computer via Safe Mode with Networking, this will help us know if the issue you are facing is related to your drivers. In your case since you are in a no boot scenario, I would suggest that you download and create
Windows 10 Media Creation Tool form the link below

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install



Once you have created the tool, follow the steps below to log into Safe Mode from Win RE

• Start your computer from the installation media. Insert the disk or USB stick and restart your computer. If you see a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from DVD,” do so. If you don’t see the message,
  you might need to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS settings so that it first starts from the disk or USB. When you see the
  'Install Windows' page, tap or click 'Repair your computer' link to start the Windows Recovery Environment.
• In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the
  Choose an option screen, click 'Troubleshoot'.
• Click, Advanced Options and then click on
  'Startup Settings and then Restart
• After your PC restarts, select a startup setting from the list of options by pressing the corresponding number on your keyboard.

Step 2: update the display driver from the Device Manager

• Right click on the Start Menu and select Device Manager
• Double click to expand Display Adapter
• Right click on the video driver and select “Update Driver Software”. Then restart the computer and check if the black screen is still there.

Hope this information helps

 

Windows updates causing lockup

Hi guys.

No, I cant even get the update screen. I cant find a answer on the internet.

Start -> all programs --> windows update --> check for updates.

10 seconds later, complete system lock up requiring a hard reboot. If I try to install a printer that needs to check windows update, same thing.

I even tried the windows update troubleshooter http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter

Then that program 'checks for solutions online', and then hard lock again. VERY frustrating. What would be causing this?
