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

Posted by msmash on from the call-IT dept.

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.

  1. 5-minute black screens - pansies! by xxxJonBoyxxx · · 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".

    We're now seeing Windows 10 machines losing their trust relationship with the DC.
    The only way to fix it is to drop and rejoin, but you need a local admin account (or one specifically privileged for those domain operations) on the machine to be able to do that.

    And our imaging process sets a random password for the admin account and disables it. Because these are domain machines only and we want them to be secure.

    So now we have to hope we've got cached domain admin credentials on these boxes (since we started Windows 10 deployments only recently, it seems like we do so far), unplug from the network, login with cached credentials, create an admin account, drop and rejoin, kill off the admin account, etc.

    Fucking Windows 10 every fucking time. FUCK YOU MS!
