I had the black menu bug once years ago. Eventually it fixed itself once DICE released a new UI update for the main menu.
Usually when there's a new UI update you'll see a popup window advertising BF6 or some other EA advertisement. Make sure to click the close button to close the popup advertisement window.
That's what fixed the black menu bug for me.
If you have a friend with Battlefield 1 you can ask them to upload their twinkle folder to you. It contains all the main menu UI files. Replacing those files might fix it if you don't want to wait for DICE to release a new main menu UI update.
The strange thing about this bug is it only affects certain players, not everyone. I think the bug happens when the in-game advertisement popup window isn't closed correctly. So the game keeps trying to launch the popup window which causes the black main menu screen. Every time I see a popup window in BF1 I immediately close the window and don't click on the advertisement because I'm afraid it will black screen bug the main menu again.
Thanks,
I'll install it on my sons PC and give this a shot.

I don't think it will work unless you use a different EA account. You're EA account is bugged and will keep downloading the same UI update files into the twinkle folder.
That's what I meant by asking a friend to upload their twinkle folder to you, because they have a different EA account that's not bugged.
Or just wait for DICE to release another UI update.
Yep, didn't work. If fact, made the black screen occur straight away instead of after a minute / clicking through a few menus.
I'll see if he will download it on his account and try copy again.
