Hello. It seems your system is experiencing issues after the update. The desktop appears as a black screen with no cursor. You've tried common solutions, but you're looking for additional options.
Was there any interruption or loss of power while the update was happening?
Start in safe mode – if it functions properly, the issue may relate to a driver. Consider reinstalling your GPU driver.
I didn't respond right away because I realized the issue stemmed from a windows update clashing with a third-party app. I opened Task Manager, closed the program, and reinstalled it—everything worked after the restart.
