I've been trying to figure out why my PC won't connect to my TV after the latest Windows 22H2 update. I thought it might be a hardware issue, but after fresh installing Windows 10, it looks like the updates themselves are causing the problem. The PC works fine until I install the updates, then it goes black, and I can't boot into Windows; I just see a 'no input' message. Is there any solution besides blocking all future updates?

This could be a display driver issue, especially if it’s trying to send a signal to the TV that it doesn't support. What model is your TV? Have you checked it with another monitor? It sounds like the TV might be at fault rather than your PC.
Have you tried booting into safe mode? It might help identify if it’s a specific driver causing the issue. Also, definitely check your drivers and update your BIOS too before running the updates.
So, when you mention safe mode, should I try that after the PC crashes or while updating Windows? I had a similar issue before with my CPU fan just spinning all the time without any load, it was a disaster. I made sure to update the BIOS already.
I do think it’s a display driver issue as well. I’ve tested with two different HDMI cables and ports on the same TV, and the problem persists. After blocking Windows updates and manually installing my GPU drivers, it still happened, leading me to believe it’s not just a Windows problem. I’ll try a different HDMI cable that’s 2.0 and see if that fixes it.
