I just experienced the black screen. Literally unplugged powder cable, pressed piewer button, then pressed again. Normally following this, I would hold thenpoewer button, and the slide to shut down action would appear, and I could properly shut down. This time, it flashed a couple of times and then eventually showed the lock screen and I could log in as normal. Either way, its a pretty damn annoying bug. Justblike that pointless alt Ctrl delete sequence just to access the password login screen.

You really are given to hyperbole, aren't you?
If anything, the responses in this forum have taught us that W10 Preview is capricious and behaves differently on every machine. You have experienced a number of issues upgrading to 10122 that literally no one else did. Using your love for drawing broad conclusions from a tiny data set, I could say your SP3 is clearly defective in some way as no one else is experiencing your issues.

I'm with you.
I did try disk cleanup and then C:\Temp\psexec.exe –s –i cmd.exe and rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN and it still wouldn't install.
I'm done trying work-arounds and fix-its. Especially for a build so many are still having problems.
Hopefully MS will release a build the installs and works.
You seem to have a hard time differentiating between system and hardware. I have already stated that clearly my system was defective, hence a day of fiddling before I finally had it running as it has been designed to.
On a slightly different note, has anyone noticed that Store beta actually doesn't update apps? My store beta is set to auto-update my apps and I noticed when I went to the old store app that there are a lot of apps waiting to be updated (I turned off auto-update in the old store). I'm not sure if this is just an issue I have or if others experience it but it'd explain why my preview apps (photos, music etc) only ever seem to get updated when I install a new build. I also can't get the store beta to manually update apps. When I click on "Check for updates", nothing happens

Here's a helpful idea on Spartan. When using the highlighter pen, have the highlighter follow the line of text so we have nice straight highlight lines. There really is no conceivable benefit to a freehand highlighter.
I also had to spend quite a bit of time and permutations trying to do the upgrade. I was about to give up, but in the end found the following sequence to work for me:
- Clean install of 10074 from an ISO
- run disk cleaner (and basically delete everything)
- run the cmd shell command as referenced in previous posts
- then the 10122 upgrade immediately
Clean install from 10074 without both the additional steps before upgrade continued to fail at 18%.
Is there a way for a OneDrive folder to show up on the folder tree but be online only? The option was as easy as right clicking it on Windows 8.1, and choosing that option, but can't find it on Windows 10.
Edit: Found the answer. Apparently this option was removed because it confused people...
