Empty (black) screen boot after Windows updates

I had this problem on two computers this week... until now. Run windows update after I restart the computer. When the computer reboots, they can start to a blank screen (black). These were not updated video card basis. Also, I tried to use the safe mode, but it crashes on MUP. SYS. I ran chkdsk... and who has not fixed it. Any ideas other then a new installation? Thanks for your help!

Kevin_C_K,
You said you ran chkdsk and it didn't fix it, but it will report all the problems?
If you are still having this problem here is a couple of things to try (if you haven't already done so).
Run the sfc/scannow utility.
When you have run chkdsk if you do not use the /r switch, then repeat the it like Chkdsk/r

After the clean installation, update you all hardware drivers before you start the Windows updates? Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • want to m6 sleekbook: screen flashing after windows update

    After the update windows 8.1 and later to win 10 screen flashes all the time between desktop screen and blue, already install all updates of HP with the intell and Windows safe mode - the same situation, all reinstalled video drivers by myself, but still no result,

    is it possible to solve this problem without getting windows to the previous version? or reinstall the entire system is the only solution?

    Hi @nazik_UA ,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question on your HP ENVY m6 Sleekbook and issues with a screen flashing after an update.

    Here is a link to put the laptop in Safe Mode. This occurs in safe mode?

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Here is a document that shows how update the drivers that do not work correctly with Windows 10.

    If this did not help, you need to reinstall the operating system.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    Thank you

    The system restore solved my problem and after that I had to do it AGAIN today, I went to Windows Update and changed the settings so that the updates would not automatically download and install on my computer.  It is certainly a problem with one of the Microsoft updates.  I just hope that they recognize that one and let us know as soon as POSSIBLE!  I'll be very selective on what updates, I am hosting in the future!

  • Unable to boot after Windows update

    Hello

    As is strives to update windows today, I wasn't expecting to lock up my computer, but now I am facing blue screen of death at every start. The Startup Repair tool is not help... So for now, the only option I see is to reformat my C drive?

    It was really unexpected, that I was a bit installing optional updates in windows (mainly the drivers I think for the fingerprint reader, graphics...) when my pc crashed. I hope to recover some of the files on my desktop before reformatting.

    So I don't expect too much help here because I can do basically anything that even the startup repair does not work. But I wonder, is there some windows updates that are to be avoided? I'd only like to know this only screwed to the top of my pc. I'm runnign the w520 on windows 7btw.

    Thank you!!

    Hello Peter, thanks for your response. I could back up my files on my C drive using a DOS command prompt and then restored a system image of a few months ago.

  • Given to nine Compaq 7700, BSoD, boot XP infinite loop, can't even get past the black screen to enter Windows. STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF773B15F, 0XF78D2520, 0XF78D221C)

    Help.

    I just got a refurbished Compaq 7700. It has Windows XP for drives of the refurbished computers.

    I try to boot from the hard drive (HD) and infinite loops, it is never past the initial home screen (black with blue status bar).

    I can't open the safe or the HD mode, it freezes at kmxstart.sys and then restarts again.

    Original title: given to nine Compaq 7700, BSoD, boot XP infinite loop, can't even get past the black screen, to enter Windows.

    I tried to boot from the disk and created Windows appears, then load the files, but then automatically tries to start Windows (without repair option). It then jumps to the BSoD with error code (after advice to verify sufficient disk space, to disable the driver identified, to change video cards, BIOS updates...)

    Apparently, this driver is a printer driver? I don't have a printer, but do not know how to disable it without access to windows.

    I got a new Philips 18.5 "monitor, an optical mouse and a keyboard with it.

    My guess is that the screen is the problem, because it was full again when I received and therefore not tested with the system before shipping. Not sure about the mouse and the keyboard.

    I tried a few options in the BIOS screen as well, but no dice.

    Help! Before shipping the brand new...

    I thank you and have a wonderful new year.

    Howdy Daavee and Shekhar,

    I hope that your day is going well.

    It turns out that it was the hard drive, it was defective. The new unit arrived and it works beautifully. Thank you very much for all you help. I wish you a happy new year.

    Choose one of these settings:

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  • Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

    Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

    Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
