Windows 10 Black Screen With Cursor Before Login

So, just a few days ago i updated my computer to the new windows 10 April update and it went fine... until i tried rebooting the system, after i restarted i was welcomed by a black screen with just a cursor, i could freely move the cursor around but couldn't do anything else(This is before even getting to the login screen). After about 5 minutes of waiting the black screen finally goes away and the usual login screen appears. I have tried doing this multiple times and it keeps happening. If i then turn off the computer and restart it within about an hour everything works properly, but if i wait any longer then the black screen comes up again. I have already tried updating my graphics drivers, thanks for the help :)

Edit: I have tried disabling fast boot to see if that helps, i cant really know for sure unless i wait for an hour or 2, since as i stated before it works fine for a while after i shut it down. If it fixes it i will let you know, thanks.

Hi, thanks for the help, but when my computer boots up it doesnt actually show a windows icon, it just shows my motherboards brand logo and then goes straight to the login screen, thanks.
