So I had a Dell Vostro 3450 come in the shop with an annoying flashing/refreshing desktop issue after being upgraded to Windows 10, from 7:
A bunch of services such as Search, WinUpdate, Networking, Bluetooth etc were not starting as well and Windows 10 was additionally stuck trying to install hardware drivers (But processes were stuck/paused).
Safe mode worked without issue and was used to correct the problem:
FIX:
I removed the Validity Facial Recognition software and Dell Digital Persona Fingerprint reader software which run their own Userinit logon scripts/exe. Looks like Windows 10 doesn't like that too much or the permissions were simply broken during the upgrade...
