    Screen Blinks For About 5 Minutes After Each Update


    I have Windows 10, and whenever it needs to update and restart, after logging in, it will show my desktop but with nothing on it, and it flashes for about 4-5 minutes. After that it's like it never happened. This only happens after every couple windows updates or so. Probably not going out of my way to figure out the problem but if it's something simple I can fix easily then that would be great.

    :)

    • Select the option to automatically search for the updated driver software.
    • Restart the computer after its updated and verify.
    Also try to access the computer manufacturer's website and download the latest display drivers for your computer and install the same.

    If issue still persists, I suggest you to Uninstall and reinstall the Display driver and check if it works for you.

    Follow the steps to uninstall the Display driver:

    • Press Windows Key + X key and click Device Manager.
