    Desktop won't load after log-in, only shows black screen with mouse cursor.


    I recently updated to Windows 10 version 2004 the night prior to this post. Just now, I've observed an odd behavior.


    My computer boots up normally. I am brought to the lock screen to enter my pin. Upon key-in of my pin, I would be log-in to a black screen. This black screen would remain for minutes before my desktop would load.


    During the blackscreen, I still see my mouse cursor. I can still move it.


    I inserted a USB which prompted a window to open. I can interact with the window while my desktop remains as black screen. Also I can open applications by opening a file.


    Once my desktop loads, everything is normal. But when I restart my computer, the same thing happens. I've done this five times now. Desktop loads between 5 - 7 minutes from logging-in.


    Any fix?


    Thank you in Advance.

    :)

    Black Screen With Cursor PLEASE HELP


    THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH WINDOWS 10.

    Below is a Microsoft Knoledge Base entry from April of this year.

    httpw://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3055414

    "The lock screen in Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10061 might appear as a black screen with a mouse cursor
    Symptoms

    When you sign out of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10061 and return to the lock screen, you might see only a black screen with a responsive mouse cursor. Pressing the Alt+Tab keys or the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys has no visible effect.
    Workaround

    If you are experiencing this issue, follow these steps to sign into Windows:

    At the black screen, press the Ctrl key once on an attached physical keyboard. (You won’t see any visible change, but pressing the Ctrl key will place the cursor in the password box that you’re currently not able to see.)

    Now type the password of the user that just signed out and press Enter.This will sign you back into Windows and the desktop will appear.

    If you failed to sign in because you mistyped the password, press Enter once more. Then retype the password and press Enter." ...

    PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING WINDOWS 10. AFTER ENTERING YOUR PASSWORD, THE CURSOR SHOULD VANISH FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WHILE WINDOWS COMPLETES THE INSTALL SETUP. MY COMPUTER, A FAST ALIENWARE, TOOK ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO COMPLETE THE SETUP AND THEN THE WINDOWS 10 DESKTOP APPEARED.
