  1. Trying to fix windows 10 (boots to a black screen, no login)


    A friends wants me to fix their laptop, it boots to a black screen, and a moveable mouse cursor with a "loading" circle next to it, (login screen never loads) if I boot in safe mode I get a "the system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer" and also doesn't load the login screen Trying to fix windows 10 (boots to a black screen, no login) :) .

    I have tried startup repair, cmd : scf /scannow, chkdsk, win 10 iso repair mode(and the top install button, maybe I should have tried the bottom one instead, but I was paranoid about it deleting stuff). (all failed/did nothing)

    so far I am in, with windows to go, put on a usb with rufus, I can access the drive, so it isn't dead at least, currently am scanning it with malwarebytes (also not sure if this matters, but it is not nowhere close to being full, around 80 percent of it is free.) my goal is to fix it without removing files,preferably I wouldn't have to put the iso back on the usb drive, so if there is a way for me to fix the other drive's windows from the "windows to go" usb, that would be nice.

    Black screen after 'Starting Windows' sequence

    Sounds like the old... windows black screen of death.

    Try this quoted from "VisiHow" article "Repair Windows 7 Black Screen of Death":

    They, also, have some other options there, too.
    Google search and you will find a lot of the "Windows Black Screen of Death with cursor" fixes.

  3. Windows 10 - black screen with cursor after login

    Hi WB,

    I had a similar Black Screen problem I documented on this site and solved my problem.

    The following may not help you but it fixed my problem.

    MS responses in this forum are formulaic based upon keywords IMHO.

    Try this:

    • Login to Windows 10 and if you have a Black Screen, wait about 15 minutes (to be sure) before you get bored and decide to reboot. I've had the experience that after a MS software update that when the computer reboots, it sits there with a Black screen
      for a while. I've seen this a few times and if I walked away and come back 30-60 minutes later, it often is working.
    • Alternatively, (I've seen this several times), at the Black Screen: turn off your monitor and after a few seconds turn it back on. My display card ( an Nvidia variant I think ) sometimes has trouble upon boot. When I cycle the monitor off/on, the display
      comes up and works.
    • The following solution to a Black Screen problem was discovered after I upgraded to Win 10 from Win 8.1 (2 weeks later). MS had pushed some update which conflicted with a Startup program and then the startup list was aborted and the S/W was left in an
      unstable state. Try this:
      • After login and encountering Black Screen, try CTRL-ALT-DEL. This should bring up a menu (if windows is partially running and you don't have a display driver issue). If you get the menu, select Task Manager. This brought up a single white window in the
        middle of my black screen. Expand the window by dragging the corner and you should see the task list. If you do, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, bail out. This solution will not work for you.
      • Task Manager has now integrated the capabilities of the old msconfg.exe (if you remember that). Go to the Start Up tab and you should see a list of programs that will execute upon login. Most are enabled. Some may be disabled. Try disabling non-MS startup
        programs. Save and restart.
      • There is an element of educated guesswork here but for me this solved my problem and upon the next boot, I was able to see the desktop and navigate the menus.
      • If this works, your next task is to go back to Task Manager, Startup, and re-enable the entries you disabled one by one and reboot until you discover the offending program.
    I did not need to re-install Windows or re-install device drivers as seems to be the popular suggestions.

    Hope some of this helps. Good luck.
