So I have a machine running Win10 which has been nagging me to allow it to update. This afternoon I decide to let it. 2+ hours later, it reboots a last time and comes up to the Welcome screen with my name on it, then a few seconds later the screen goes dark. Only the mouse pointer remains. Ctrl-Alt-Del gives me the blue screen with Task Manager as on of the options. I select that, but apparently because that requires the OS to be completely up, the screen doesn't show. I have both a VGA monitor and my actual monitor connected (HDMI). The monitors behave the same. I've done numerous reboots, of course. The reboots just do the Welcome then blank sequence.
Anyone having problems with the latest Win 10 update,, or know a way out of this that won't fry my environment and data? Much of it is backed up or on secondary (non OS) drives, so I'm good there, but I wouldn't want to have to reinstall all of the executables and dll's on the main drive. I have a lot of software from various vendors there and that stuff is painful to get up, running and playing nice.
TIA!
I do have the original install disk for the OS, but I'd rather not go there. I doubt it's bootable anyway.
