Windows 10: Black Screen and Command Line - Issue After Recent Update

Hello everyone,
This morning I woke up to an interesting issue with my desktop; when I log into my account it brings me to a black screen that is completely empty aside from a command line that says something similar to "windows 32". (I'm away from home right now but I will post more specific details/take pictures of the problem and my PCs specs in a couple of hours if necessary.) In this state I am unable to open up the start menu or any other menu and aside from ctrl + alt + del I am unable to interact with the computer. My mouse is visible and able to move whilst in this screen.

I have taken multiple steps to fix this issue all culminating in failure. The first thing I did was restart in safe mode but the issue persisted. Next I ran the boot repair tool in the advanced options and it failed. At this point I tried to use the advanced option to restore a previous version of Windows but the restore failed as well. I wasn't entirely sure as to what the issue was at that moment so I just restored to a backup point about a month ago where my computer was definitely stable, after the restore I was forced to update and the issue persisted. This is the reason why I think the problem is a result of the recent windows update; however, it of course might not be.

Afterwards I pretty much started spamming all the previous steps in differing orders in hopes that some combination would solve the problem as I really don't want to do the complete Windows reinstall option if not imperative.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Black Screen and Command Line

I ultimately decided to just reset my pc (under the option that keeps personal files) and that worked for getting rid of the issue. Now I just gotta re-download all the apps I want. -_-

Hopefully I pull some better performance after the reset!

 

Black Screen and Command Line

Power on and off your computer three times

On the third time, your computer will boot into the Advanced Recovery environment

Click Advanced Options

Click Troubleshoot

Click Advanced Options

Open Command Prompt, then do it there.

 

This is a picture of what the screen looks like. Everything else is just black.
