its a resolution error, try changing the resolution or check if your tv has and auto setting, i used to get that a lot when using an hdmi cable with a 32" tv. it should be ok if you are using a vga cable, it not you might have to go into graphics setting and setup a custom resolution

if i post a link to amazon try to use the LTT affiliate code to help the channel http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=linustechtips-20

But the start menu was working grey before and it had the same resolution. The start menu o had is mean to have the tiles etc but now it's gone to the Win 7 style of start menu

microsoft is very bad sometimes, they keep adding updates and they keep screwing people over. 

 

just today i just moved my pc from one room to another and my wifi card wasnt working, its had been working for 1 month, i opened the case check to see if the card got unseated during the move, tried troubleshooting everything and after 2 hours i found out windows defended somehow quarantined my driver, WTF?? the worst part was i never installed a driver, win 10 did, i ended up having to search for my driver disc and install the drivers  manually.

 

for your situation i would just play with the resolutions to get it to work or check the tv for an horizontal/vertical setting , check to see if your gpu driver is current , if not install it.

if you can get it working to the point you are satisfied then set up a restore point, that way if microsoft screws you again you can back up to the restore point
