Windows 10 blank screen after login--only on Admin account.

I have two accounts on my Win10 device. A User account, which works fine, and an Administrator account, which has a problem: when I try to log into the Admin account, the screen I get is totally black. I can Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up task manager, and from there I can launch things, but when I launch explorer, no joy--the screen remains black.

The funny thing is that this does not happen in my User account.

NOTE: I did not see this behavior before I installed today's (Tuesday's) update for Windows 10.

Details: Machine is a Lenovo X140e (AMD quad core) with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. Windows 10 Professional 64-bit.

This isn't the end of the world for me, but it does make certain things that I'd like to do considerably more difficult...

OK--just wanted to come back and let you know that this cleared up after a hard reboot.

Also, after Win10 installed, I got a message on my Lenovo's camera saying that additional work was needed. The camera acted completely dead. I decided to try the battery trick and so uninstalled the camera and then scanned for hardware changes. Ta-da! Microsoft's driver installed and everything began to work again.
