Windows 10: Black Screen on Acer Nitro 5

CeciliaCroce · Mar 9, 2019

Hello, I have been using my new acer nitro 5 and I just got a problem on it. I updated my computer, then I signed in and there was a black screen with my cursor. After a little bit, it showed the tool bar and my background but not my apps. If I put my cursor over the toolbar, there is just a loading symbol and it never stops loading. Please I really want help so I can use my computer again.
