HP Users Complain About 10-Minute Login Lag During 'Win 10 Update' (theregister.co.uk)

A number of HP device owners are complaining of seeing black screens for around five to 10 minutes after entering their Windows login information. From a report: They appear to be pointing the finger of blame at Windows 10 updates released September 12 for x64-based systems. One, a quality update called KB4038788, offered a whopping 27 bullet points for general quality improvements and patches, such as an "issue that sometimes causes Windows File Explorer to stop responding and causes the system to stop working." Another, KB4038806, was a "critical" patch for Adobe Flash Player that allowed remote code execution.

5-minute black screens - pansies! by xxxJonBoyxxx · 2017-09-15 08:58 · Score: 4, Insightful

>> We saw black screens for up to 10 minutes after our Windows 10 upgrade. (Sniff.)

Did it come back AT ALL?

>> Yes, but...

Then I'd call it success. You won't find any sympathy from people whose computers refused to boot after a Windows 10 "upgrade".
