  1. Black screen on startup, explorer.exe doesn't start automatically


    When I start windows I get a black screen with a command prompt. I have to use ctrl-alt-del and start explorer.exe as a new task. This is also happening in safe mode. I have looked through multiple forums to find a solution: most of them recommend running sfc /scannow and this does not fix the problem for me. They also all suggest looking under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and making sure the shell value only reads "explorer.exe," This doesn't help me either as the value under shell is already explorer.exe.

    :)
