The good news is that this issue affects only three Dell laptop models: Alienware 17 R4, Precision M7710 and Precision M6800. In order to restore the display, users need to perform a hard reboot. Unfortunately, the problem occurs again the next time users close and open the lid.

Here’s how one user describes this issue:

How to fix black screen after boot on the Creators Update

The black screen is caused by a known issue with the GeForce display driver used in these laptops models and the Creators Update.

My computer update last night to the Creator’s Update and this morning I have a black screen with only the mouse cursor. It appears as though everything is there on my desktop, the cursor change changes to a single click finger when over an icon and I can type something in the ask me anything area. (cannot see what I am typing).

To fix this problem, you can download and install the GeForce driver hotfix that NVIDIA has released to address this issue. You can download the hotfix from NVIDIA’s support page.

The updated display driver is also being released to these devices through Windows Update.
