  1. Black screen after Cortana started jabbering


    I wiped the drive and installed Windows 10 Pro from an ISO downloaded from Microsoft. Just after I entered the first security question -- I chose a non-Microsoft login for admin -- the screen went black. I kept clicking the mouse, pressing Enter, and even tried cntl-alt-delete. Eventually the screen returned to the second security question. I was able to finish the installation.


    There were some issues with drivers for the laptop and when I got everything figured out, some things were a bit of a mess. So I wiped the drive again and installed Windows 10 again. However, at the exact same spot during the installation, the screen went black again. I pressed the same keys, but the screen never returned to normal.


    I'm going to wipe the drive and install Windows 10 from an ISO from a year or two back. But does anyone have a guess as to what happened?

    :)

    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.
