Windows 10: Black screen after booting to Windows from Ubuntu.

9 out of 10 times, when I reboot to Windows 10 from Ubuntu 20.04 from my dual booted PC, I see a black screen, and nothing on the external monitor as well. Started seeing this since 2-3 weeks. This is my PC information:


Edition: Windows 10 Pro

Version: 1909

OS Build: 18363.1082

Black screen in Windows 10 dual booted with Ubuntu

Hi Andre,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have been trying to boot into safe mode by powering my system on and off three times. However, I am not able to succeed because it either boots to an indefinitely black screen or in ubuntu. I cannot boot into the Advanced
Recovery environment at all.

I also tried to bring up the System Steup menu by pressing F2 key on startup, as well as the boot menu by pressing F12 key on startup. Both options led me to a black screen.

 

Black screen in Windows 10 dual booted with Ubuntu

My computer (dell inspiron) is dual booted, with windows 10 and ubuntu. Normally, when I power my system on, the grub menu comes up and I select windows from it. The first option in the menu is ubuntu, which is selected automatically if I don't select
anything. Since yesterday, everytime I power my system on I see a black screen, no dell logo, no grub menu, and after a while ubuntu turns on. Ubuntu works without any errors.

If I change the grub menu configuration such that Windows will boot if I don't select anything, I see a black screen indefinitely. I tried changing the order in the grub menu to 1. Windows 2. Ubuntu; and upon startup pressed Down key and Enter, this
also led me into Ubuntu. It is almost as if the grub menu is there but it isn't being displayed. Basically, booting into Windows shows a black screen with no cursor, and booting into Ubuntu (if I can find my way through the invisible grub menu upon startup)
works normally.

Is there any way to correct this without wiping and reinstalling everything? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

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.
