    desktop goes black and functions disabled


    windows works fine after fresh reboot. then, after no activity for a few hours, or overnight, the computer goes to sleep and when prompted with mouse or key, wakes up with

    1. black screen icons still visible although not functional.

    2. start icon is either not visible and/or not functional.

    3. taskbar icons aren't functional


    it's like the computer froze up. I ctrl/alt/delete and restart back to normal desktop background which is plain default and fully functional computer....until it goes back to sleep, which I have to restart every time.


    windows is updated and no issues found troubleshooting.


    I've never seen or heard of this. please help. please advise. I just want windows to wake up being normal.

    :)

  2. black list and rotation disable function

    I have feedback these problems many times.



    Would Nokia or Microsoft has any plan to develop the function of black list and rotation disable?

  3. Desktop background goes black

    I have a picture here of my desktop background. Notice how behind the icons is black. Now the entire background just blacked out. I also have problems with menus in apps. Notice how Synctoy isn't displaying the menu correctly. What is going on?

    Screen goes black if the power cord is connected

    Hi Tony,

    As the screen goes black I suggest you to refer the Microsoft article on
    Troubleshoot black screen problems and check if it helps.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/troubleshoot-black-screen-problems

    I also see that you are facing issues with the keyboard this might be due to the corruption of keyboard drivers. I suggest you to run the
    hardware and devices troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps for the same.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter. Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select Control panel.
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Hope this information is helpful. Please get back to us with the information required, if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
