Hello, thanks for reaching out, and I am sorry to see what you are experiencing. 

Have you tried clearing your device cache partition yet? This can help with alot of things after an update. 
 - Power off your device.
 - While the device is powered off, simultaneously press and hold the power and volume up buttons.
 - Once the Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. Your device should boot into recovery mode.
 
 Using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select:
 
 - Navigate to "wipe cache partition" and press power.
 - Select yes to confirm.
 - Navigate down to "Repair apps" and press power.

If clearing the cache partition did not help, you can see if a third-party application is responsible using Safe mode: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10003495/
If the black box is not present in Safe mode, uninstall third-party applications until normal functionality is restored. 

In the event Safe mode did not resolve the black box there, it may be time to try a factory reset. Make sure to back up everything prior (https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002780/) then perform the factory reset: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002030/

If the troubleshooting is not helpful, submit an error report via the Samsung Members app: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tips-Tricks/How-to-Send-Feedback/ba-p/3001692
