The last update of Windows 7 had an error, turning the desktop black

As we have reported, Windows 7 officially entered the discontinued phase of support (EoS) from January 14, meaning that users will not receive any additional feature updates and patches. public security. And to optimize the performance of Windows 7 before the operating system stopped supporting, Microsoft released a final update, codenamed KB4534310.

The main goal of this update is to address backlog issues related to some key components of Windows 7, including Windows Storage and Filesystems, Windows Input and Creation, Microsoft Scripting Engine and Windows Server. But while it's unclear how effective KB4534310 is, some Reddit and Microsoft forum members have found this update to contain a strange bug that causes their desktop wallpaper to turn black. . These Windows 7 users said they could still change the wallpaper manually, but the desktop would revert to solid black every time they rebooted the system.

Most likely this error stems from a server-side activation issue by Microsoft when it believes that the PC has not been activated or used an illegal version of Windows. Recently, some Windows 10 users have also reported a similar issue, so it's almost possible to confirm that Microsoft's management server is having compatibility issues with new Windows updates.

A Reddit member said the whole problem was solved after he uninstalled the KB4534310 update. However, other cases report that the problem only appears in certain wallpaper resolution options. Therefore you should try applying different wallpaper resolutions before deciding to uninstall the update. (We do not recommend that you uninstall security patches because they can leave the system vulnerable to malicious attacks.)

Let's wait and see what Microsoft will say about this, and whether the company will release a patch even if Windows 7 has EoS to fix it - it will be interesting!
