Despite ticking wushowide to hide all the updates windows continued updating and despite doing a system restore this morning and using it to restore just now I am still getting stuck on a black screen. Please no reinstall I have hundreds of programs on it.

To be honest, if you do a reinstall now, you'll be over this sooner. Just reinstall your program one at a time when you need them. Then when you think you have everything back, create an image back up so you can restore your system like nothing happened when you encounter future problems. As it stands right now, this is your fastest resolution. Don't prolong your agony.

Before doing a clean install I would try a repair install which keeps programs and data. Repair Install Windows 11 with an In-place Upgrade Tutorial

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

It's how long the disk has been powered up, and the power on count the number of times it has been powered up.

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
For ages, MS Updates have been killing computers. After having way too many service calls for that very problem, as a PC repair tech, I made up my mind to just "86 the updates". No more updates and no more problems.
Today, right after I install either Win-10 or Win-11 I run a little program called, "Stop Updates 10". It can permanently BLOCK MS Updates. But, it can re-install them if you ever want.
JFYI

TM :cool:
 
This is my first update problem since I started with W98.

My PC just locked on a black screen after last nights 11 update. Fortunatley there WAS a system restore from 2 days ago and fortunaetly it WORKED. My previous experience of this is there often isn't a stsem restore and if there is it doesnt work.
Anyone else have problems?

Running 22H2 on an HP Omen Desktop.

When I got the black screen on my dual boot system, @woldsweather I resorted to a hard shutdown. When I restarted the computer, I was greeted with: Undoing changes made to your computer. I tried the update twice, and got the same, so I gave up. Each time, I was taken back to my prior working system.

This is one of the rare instances an update goes awry. :(

No more updates and no more problems.

I totally disagree with turning off updates altogether. Most of the time, problems caused by WU are not the fault of the update but from a given condition on one's system. (corruption, 3rd party apps, drivers, hardware, etc, etc)Occassionally a bad update will come down the pike but not often. When it does, it affects thousands. Something that these responses has NOT touched on is the why of this OP's problem. Since there has not been mass reports of any of the latest updates black screening anyone else, IMO the root of the problem is not windows update, but with his system.
Once his system is as it should be, the update(s) won't cause black screen.

You need to boot from your recovery media to restore your image. The method of doing that is different for each PC manufacturer. You need to check your manual.

Sometimes it makes sense to permanently block updates - like on critical systems that need to be kept permanently up and running. That's a rare need though.
