    I updated to Win10 CU and then did a complete system reset. Now I no longer get any picture signal.

    When Win10 boots to the login prompt, there's no picture. I know the computer is running, but the screen is black.

    If I run DDU from safe mode, I get image, but as soon as I try to install NVIDIA drivers, or if Windows installs their default drivers, I get black screen.

    Any suggestions? I spent several hours on this today, with no progress. :-(

    Have you tried any other video output cable? for example you use hdmi cable, but have also dvi/displayport cable?

    Try installing all default drivers from MSI site.

    I'm just gonna say this. Win 10 CU and Nvidia drivers are a total mess right now. It's like Nvidia can't catch up with Windows development. Especially true with Pascal and fast hz displays. And SLI well just forget it.

    Shot in the dark, but BIOS updated to the latest?

    Tried different older drivers? I read a few forums saying people had the same problem with certain drivers but not others

    Last resort, reinstall the RS1 version of 10 that worked

    Sorry my comment wasn't constructive. Yeah I would go back to an older driver for now and it really depends on your hardware. Update your bios if it's not current.

    Have you tried installing the previous stuff such as SCM and other MSI proprietary. Try switching to onboard and back. I've only had this problem on my 970M in which I just reset my CMOS (holding power button) and/or using the MUX switch to switch it back to dedicated GPU rather than onboard. Hasnt happened to my 1070 *knock on wood*.

    It's a known issue with nvidia driver 381.x and 382.x family... since MS upgraded WDDM to 2.2.
    You can read a lot of same reports on official nvidia forums like: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...play-driver-feedback-thread-released-5-4-17-/

    Solution: wait a 1-2 months 'till nvidia will fix their broken drivers incompatible with latest Windows changes. Recommended 378.66WHQL (WDDM 2.1) in the meanwhile.

    I reinstalled Windows 10 AU and then installed the GPU driver. I then updated to CU and everything work fine. Had to waste a day testing and reinstalling thou.

    MSI True Color and their EC Radio Switch driver also seem to be a big problem, but I managed to work around it.
