It's a Raspbery Pi 3 B+***

selected Update All Drivers option in one of the packages menus

What drivers do you have installed ? You normally don't need to install a driver unless you have a specific hardware device/gamepad that needs it.

Rebooting the system it loads up to the Retropie splash screen thing and crashes.

What does 'crash' mean ? Do you get an error on the screen from the system or from EmulationStation crashing ?

LunaN0x

Crash means, it gets up to emulationstation's RetroPie splashscreen and the screen promptly goes black and unresponsive. I selected update all drivers in an attempt to get the xbox one controller working on bluetooth since currently I have it plugged in USB.

I'm sorry for the horrible quality of this video but maybe this explains it even slightly

Yes, but which drivers did you install ? Did you install all of them ?

LunaN0x

@mitu Yes, I installed all of them.

There was an old issue when installing the controlblock driver - the controlblock service would shutdown the system - right on boot - if there wasn't a ContolBlock attached.
However, this was solved and you need to explicitely configure the Controlblock service to start in order for that to happen. From your short video, I see something similar happening. You didn't mention what version of RetroPie version you have (latest is a little vague), but did you do any such configuration after installing the Controlblock driver ?

@mitu Sorry for the vagueness, like I said I'm pretty new to this, and I only am able to see info that's visible on the SD card like looking at it in file explorer so I can't really tell anything. This is the guide I used to install RetroPie itself https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/

I've added Scraper, skyscraper, and I think that's about all for optional packages.

I didn't configure anything though like you mentioned before this happened, like I said it went from updating installers to crashing like in the video, I'll see if I can get a clearer photo of any of the text

@LunaN0x The picture shows a disk check - probably because you've cut the power without shutting the Pi properly.
I'd suggest you reinstall - if you're just starting out - and don't needlessly install any drivers. For the XBox BT driver, there's an alternative driver which is not part of RetroPie - github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo.

Did you wait a while to let the disk check finish?
