Within this blog post I give some background information about the black screen log in issue and introduce fixes for the black screen bug.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Black login screen at Windows 10 V1703<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ssl-vg03.met.vgwort.de\/na\/9a336dc926fd4f7486087cc4d018d088\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>On September 12,2017 Microsoft released some updates for Windows. Since then, HP device owners have been experiencing various issues with their machines. One issue is the black screen bug during login in Windows 10 version 1703.<\/p>\n<p>The user ends with a black screen, that disappears after 6-8 minutes or even longer. I've covered this issue within my German blog post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.borncity.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/15\/ms-patchday-kritische-fixes-und-neue-probleme-sept-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MS Patchday: Kritische Fixes und neue Probleme (Sept. 2017)<\/a>. The bug is caused by cumulative update <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/de-de\/help\/4038788\/windows-10-update-kb4038788\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KB4038788<\/a> for Windows 10 Version 1703, but only on HP systems.<\/p>\n<h2>A first workaround: Disable App-Readiness service<\/h2>\n<p>Deactivating the App Readiness service should resolve the issue. At reddit.com there is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Windows10\/comments\/6zqvm4\/windows_boots_to_black_screen_after_signing_in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this thread<\/a> on the topic. The bug was discussed also within various blogs. German site golem.de has linked to a German <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20190203061442\/https:\/\/h30492.www3.hp.com\/t5\/Notebook-Betriebssysteme-und-Software\/Schwarzer-Bildschirm-beim-Hochfahren\/td-p\/474432\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HP forum thread<\/a>, discussing\u00a0 Start HP devices after update to this HP support thread, which mentions App readiness service. But the solution linked above isn't sufficient.

It's also a good idea to disable Windows fast boot. This topic is also discussed within <a href=\"https:\/\/h30434.www3.hp.com\/t5\/Desktop-Boot-and-Lockup\/SOLVED-For-everyone-who-is-having-black-screen-after-login\/td-p\/6318990\/page\/2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this English HP support forum thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A German blog reader mentioned also, resetting BIOS setting to factory default shall help \u2013 but I'm not sure, it that has an effect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>What is App readiness for?<\/h2>\n<p>The App readiness service belongs to Windows and is used, during first login of a user. It initializes all apps. It runs also during installing a new app. The service has been introduced in Windows 8.1 (see also) and seems to cause trouble from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>During writing my blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/09\/17\/more-microsoft-updates-september-12-2017\/\">More Microsoft Updates (September 12, 2017)<\/a>, I searched the web and found some older posts mentions black screen login issues.
