Windows 10: Severe screen issues with Windows 10 2004 update

2004 worked.. "okay" for like 2 days after install.. now when waking from sleep all I get is a grey screen with the white arrow and I CAN'T do anything.



If I hibernate, I get a colorful static screen then I have to push the power button to force shut down and start up again.



I rolled back the display adapter driver which fixed the issue (which also removed sleep mode from my power options) but I was unable to adjust screen brightness so I unintstalled the driver and now there IS NO option (it's greyed out) to roll back the driver again.



I literally had to reinstall windows because 2004 pretty much "bricked" my laptop on the 2nd day of using it after the update.



I was initially having issues with the laptop freezing when waking up from sleep so I thought that I should update (I have updates blocked at router level) unfortunately for me and my laptop.. unblocking updates turned to be THE WORST IDEA ever. (Already knew it was a bad idea but still went ahead and did it anyways)



I'm going to reset my PC soon to factory settings, but I literally just had to install all my programs a couple days ago after reinstalling windows 10, and I don't feel like going through that process again so soon.



The 2004 update completely messed up a perfectly fine laptop. Ugh.



TLDR; 2004 update causing random freezing when doing the most basic tasks, waking from sleep shows a grey screen, and starting from hibernate show a colorful static screen. DO NOT UPDATE!!!

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows 10 fails to update


Thanks,

The Users list compared to the Profile list you posted earlier tell me there is not an issue with Users (a known issue where there is a profile in the list, but not actual User folder).

The error code suggests corruption in the CBS manifest:

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
