    Desktop Screen is Black


    The screen on Desktop computer shows a black background and the text is mostly yellow. How can I change it to normal. I also found out that Windows was update a few hours ago.


    I have read about related problems here and their solutions, but it seems as if the updated version of Windows, does not have the same features.


    Regards

    :)

    I would suggest that you perform the steps mentioned below and check if you are able to access the desktop.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Perform Power Drain and check if you are able to access your desktop screen.

    • Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
    • Press and hold the Power button for 30sec.
    • Plug the charger/power cord and restart system.

    Step 2: If you can access the desktop check if your system is functioning as normal. Also check which update got installed in your system, by opening Control Panel and then opening Programs and Features.

    Method 2: Inaccessible Desktop.
