  1. My desktop is stuck on a black screen, before the login screen


    So basically, when I turn on my pc, everything seems fine at first. I see my computer is on, the monitors show that they are on. The problem is, my pc seems to be stuck before the login screen. It has pretty much a black screen, with a rotating blue load wheel where the cursor would be. It has been like that for more than 30 minutes. I have tried restarting my pc, only to get the same black screen with that rotating blue load wheel. I've unplugged my pc's power cord to try and fix it, but same resulting problem. I just don't know what to do to fix this.

    :)

    Black screen after login in

    You can try the following steps to fix black screen after login in caused by KB5022360:

    1. Boot into Safe Mode
    2. Uninstall the problematic update (KB5022360)
    3. Restart your computer normally
    4. Check if the black screen issue has been resolved.
    If the issue still persists, try the following:

    1. Run System File Checker (SFC) to repair any corrupted system files
    2. Perform a system restore to a previous point before the update was installed.

    Stuck on black screen after Windows 10 loading screen

    My computer is getting stuck on the black screen between the Windows 10 logo with loading circle and the login screen.

    The first couple times it happened today, I pressed the reset button and then it loaded just fine (though I had an extended black screen between logging in and the desktop loading).

    Sometimes I get all the way through to the desktop loading, but then it goes black and stays black after that.

    I had a power outage and power surge earlier today, so I don't know if that is at all responsible for this.
