Windows 10: Black screen before login, ”Time & Date not set, F1: boot”

Hello,I know black screen is a highly asked question here, however non of the answers I’ve seen here has been successful in solving my problem.I have an HP Pavilion Desktop running Windows 10. When I try to boot it I first get a black screen with some system information and it days ”Date & Time not set. F1: boot”. When I press F1 it leeds to the windows logo for and a circle for a minute then proceedes to a black screen with a cursor. I’ve changed the CMOS battery, without any difference. I can’t reach Task Manager, and still get black screen when I try to boot it in safe mode. Does anyone

Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
   
2. Then click Language preferences.
   
3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
   
4. Click the "Region" option
   
5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
   
6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
   
7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
   
8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)
   

I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

Hope it will help you, too!
