    Hi, in the past, every time I’ve loaded the Windows Recovery Environment to load safe mode, my PC just went onto a black screen, and when i restarted it booted normally.Today, I went Into msconfig and ticked safe mode.After restarting to boot in safe mode, the screen went black again, but this time when I restarted, it didn’t come back on.My PC lights are on, and the monitor displays that it can’t find my pc.I’ve tried completely unplugging my PC and Monitor from the mains and from each other, but that didn’t work.I also tried Windows + ctrl + shift + b to restart graphics drivers, but the scr

  2. Windows 10 black screen with cursor (safe mode UNRESPONSIVE/WON'T WORK)

    No luck, I tried both suggestions and the same thing. When I go into safe mode the computer acts extremely slow and whenever I try to open a file/app I get "... Is unresponsive", so that basically makes safe mode unusable since I can't open anything and
    if I boot normally the screen stays black but I can see my cursor.

    Method 1:



    Refer the section I see a black screen before signing in to Windows 10
    from the article

    Black Screen in Safe Mode

    I'm trying to start my Win 10 VM but am getting a black screen with a cursor after it logs in so after looking for solutions online, there is a suggestion to remove the display drivers by using safe mode.

    The problem is, safe mode also has a black screen!!

    Are there any solutions to this? I have tried repairing, troubleshooting, restore etc from an ISO without success.

    Windows is present in some form or another as it responds to ctrl-alt-del and provides me with the usual menu for Task Manager but when you select this, the Task Manager does not show and you are left with the same black screen as before!!

    Anyone have any experience of this before?

    Thanks
