Fixing the Black Screen of Death After a Windows 10 Update
On Windows 10 systems, the Black Screen of Death can be caused by an incomplete Windows Update. If you enter your password and log in, but your Windows 10 PC gets stuck on a black screen, it's likely that some desktop icons will not show up on the taskbar.
To resolve this issue, simply press and hold the power button on your PC or laptop to turn off the computer. After that, you can perform a cold start to help the system boot up correctly.
