Windows 10: Windows 10 install stuck at black screen without cursor or anything

I tried updating from 8.1 to 10 from the iso and after a few reboots it just hangs at a black screen, what can i do now? Should i just reboot?

I appear to have an identical problem. Computer idle, no hdd activity. Black screen no cursor.

EDIT: got fed up with waiting, its been like this for a couple of hours now. It appears to have 'recovered the installation' sitting at 75% and says it is configuring settings 1%. Will wait and see what happens now.

 

Double post, but i wanted this to appear as a new post.

All done now. Running windows 10.

 

I left for dinner while the installation was at the % screen, and when i came back it was on the black screen with a cursor. It then rebooted back into the same black screen.

Is this normal? Been on the black screen for close to an hour.

 

My screen lacked a cursor. So dont know if this is the same.

 

For me the cursor only appeared after i moved the mouse.

I'm thinking of force restarting to see if it helps

 

Hey man, u said u had the same problem and its working now, did you do anything special to Make it work or did you just wait

 

I think he pressed the reset button

 

So i rebooted my pc and after going past the Alienware (i5) loading screen it displayed the same black screen again. Starting to think its a video issue, but I have no idea

 

Same problem here.
Installing with downloaded ISO. Went fine, even signed in. It said it was doing an update in the background, and went black screen. No cursor. I have since rebooted, reinstalled but no dice. Can't even get into safe mode to try that.

Should have known better than to jump on this the first day...

 

I got the black screen with no cursor (left the house at 15%, got back to this)
I had been out a couple of hours, no disk activity etc
held power and restarted, it said recovering installation, rebooted itself and within 2 minutes was back at black screen
held power and then turned back on, it restored itself to Windows 8.1

once loaded it downloaded all of Windows 10 again, I then told it to install again, went to work, wife tells me it's on a black screen again, no activity, nothing will wake it up

Dell laptop, 2 years old (new to me) updating from Win 8.1

 

At least you could sign in mate, my latest development consists of that round blue spinning wheel thing appearing next to my cursor for 2 seconds.

Yes I'm still having the same issue and regretting not backing up

 

what did you do when u 'got fed up'? reset, or ctrl-alt-del, or power off/on, or something else?

wife's machine is stuck in the same spot. with '99' shown in the lower right corner of the screen
