    Black screen on startup, no cursor


    For the past few days now, the first time I boot my laptop up for the day, it loads the Acer logo and spinning wheel, then goes to a black screen. There's no cursor when this happens, either.If I force-reset pressing the power button down for a few seconds, then restart, the laptop is fine after that. I can shut it down and start it back up with no problems; it's just the first time of starting-up that's the problem. This appears to have started happening after Windows recently did some updates.Has anybody else had this happen to them, and if so, is there a way to fix it? Any help would be g

    :)

    Black Screen with Cursor at startup

    2nd time poster, 1st time...."new threader".

    I kind of jumped into another black screen thread with this and it was suggested (rightly) that I start a new one. I'll just copy/paste what I posted there. I'm kind of a computer semi-literate, so forgive any dumb questions I might have--

    "I'm having this startup, black screen with cursor nightmare too--hangs on Black screen at startup for an hour before it goes to the sign on screen. Been Googling and watching youtube "fix" vids like a maniac for 3 days now (a lot of Windows 10 hatred out there).

    On one of the vids, the "tech guy" who did the vid wrote that if you can see ANYTHING (his emphasis) on your screen when it hangs, it's not a hard drive problem. Is this true?? I don't want to bring it into Best Buy (if I can't resolve this) and pay 150 bucks for a diagnostic just to be told my hard drive's fried and I need a new computer.

    When my computer's running, it works fine. I've been leaving it on 24/7 and using Sleep Mode when I'm not using it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks."
