    Fix for windows 10 booting to a black screen


    I couldn't quite get the instructions for this fix at first but figured it out eventually and it worked! I tried the other solutions as well but none of them worked. This was the one that worked. Let me just re-word here so others may understand as well:

    Display Switch - Change Presentation Mode to Project in Windows 10 Windows 10 Hardware Drivers Tutorials

    1. Press the windows key on the keyboard
    2. Then press the "P" key (Do not hit the "-" key. That's what I thought the instructions were saying or telling me to hold the windows key at the same time as the "P" key because of "WindowsKey-P")
    3. Then press the down arrow twice and hit enter

    All keys are pressed separately and not at once.

    Thank you so much for the help!!

    Fix for windows 10 booting to a black screen

    I'm also having this problem trying to upgrade from Windows 8. I can't get into safe mode (same issue there), however I have been able to access the recovery console and alter the registry so that I'm able to use Windows as the SYSTEM user, with some limitations. Any ideas on how I could continue from there? If I try to access the login screen by any means I simply go back to the black screen with a cursor. Windows key + P is not helping.

    I tried all the suggestions in this thread, my Toshiba laptop started with no boot screen, black screen and cursor only. Tried 'blind' login as suggested in this thread, looked like it was going to the desktop, but still nothing. I tried ctrl-p down arrow, down arrow. Then powered off, then held ctrl and F10 down while powering on, and this worked, it went to an orange screen and loaded stuff before going to login screen, no probs since.

    After you power your system,wait for a while to boot then press the power button once and after 10secs press the power button again and see if the screen will come up
