Hello Everyone,

 

I'm just posting to find out if anyone else is having this issue.

I have started to see an issue arise after upgrading the PCs to Windows 10.

Basically, what happens is it will all be working fine then a different student will log on and it will just have a black screen but the cursor showing.

If they log on somewhere else its fine so it cant be a profile issue.

I have a temp fix for the issue which is to log them off and log back on. That works but I'm just wondering why it's doing it in the first place.

 

Thanks

Cameron

Am having this issue with Windows 1703 but we use NetSupport, it's not happening very often and if I restart the PC and get the same kid to log back in it logs in fine.

 

All local profiles I should add.

We've had this on 1703 and 1803, and we've never used Impero. It seems random and unrelated to hardware or user so we've added it to the list of W10 'features'!

We have NetSupport and have this issue. Seems to a feature like you say!

I found this issue with 1607 on PCs without impero. Traced the issue to the per user firewall rules created on first login. Looks like roaming profiles are deprecated. You can also get issues with modern apps and roaming profiles/ user profile disks.

Avast antivirus is known to cause black screens. Do you have the latest cumulative update installed?

 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4284835

 

Addresses an issue that caused the system to start up to a black screen. This issue occurs because previous updates to the Spring Creators Update were incompatible with specific versions of PC tune-up utilities after installation.

Last week saw a surge in complaints from users stuck on a black screen after updating to 1803. Some users blamed the issue on Avast antivirus, but the security company denied it was the cause.

 

However, Microsoft has since confirmed that the issue is caused by a clash between 1803 and Avast antivirus.

 

The upgrade appears to complete but, after signing in, users running Avast see a blank screen with only the Recycle Bin and a taskbar. Also, the Start menu doesn't function and nor does Task Manager.

 

The other thing that may occur is that Windows restarts to a 'Choose your keyboard layout' screen and gets stuck from there.

 

"In cooperation with Avast, Microsoft has identified an element of the Avast Behavior Shield that conflicts with the April 2018 Update, and that may result in this experience," Microsoft notes on its user forum.

 

"Avast has released an update to prevent this issue from occurring. Once you've restored your system, make sure your Avast antivirus is up to date."

 

It has also provided instructions for restoring Windows machines affected by that glitch.

I'd stay clear of any 3rd party AV when using Windows 10. But granted not everyone can make that change to defender. If you can replicate the issue try running procmon and review the results.

Eset here. Our black screens are just that. No recycle bin or anything.

Had a session with eset support yesterday. Currently all logs on diagnostics mode.

Its annoying because it hasnt happened in the last few logins.

 

Only two things being blocked is

csrss and the synaptics as they both try to access the ESET files and self defense blocks.

 

We have 1709 and 1803 laptops doing it.

 

 

I think im going to get rid of the profile paths for all students. Normally add it in so our slow computers dont have to create a new profile but im wondering if its a issue logging into different windows versions.

 

 

edit:removed all profile paths. 1.6ghz,4gb ram, 500gb hdd.

1min 30 for first logon, did its welcome to windows thing

30 seconds for repeat logons on that computer

It’s not profile related to different versions as we don’t have the profile path here. Plus students are all 1703 here.

 

I did see this happen first hand today, a pupil brought me a laptop which didn’t have a printer mapped (seemed to have happened a lot today for some reason) so I logged them off to ask them to log back in to see if the printer mapped, i didn’t even get that far as logging back in just went to a black screen.

 

No idea what’s happening
