    Blackscreens (no cursor) during user switching; happens randomly/not reproducible


    This only happens during user switching, but at that only infrequently so. When it happens, nothing like ctrl +alt+del works, the caps lock key doesn’t change state when pressed so I guess the OS is totally locked up. Only solve is to hold down power/switch off psu. No crash dumps. Besides this no other problems in terms of performance. A/V and I/O drivers are all up to date.

    I'm on W10 Home v2004 build 19041.329

  2. Window 10 Update blackscreen no cursor

    I update to Windows 10 this week and have yet to my computer function. At first I had a cursor and it showed my weather app against a blackscreen. I started following a fix going through the task manager and type"regedit" into the Creative to task bar,
    clicking yes, it came up with the Registry Editor and then shortly after it switched to a full blackscreen of death. My computer is quietly humming, my black screen is lit, and I now have no cursor. How can I fix this? I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop.
