    Computer boots to Black Screen with Cursor Before Lock Screen


    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from the taskbar on my desktop. The upgrade was successful and I was able to use my computer normally. Today, when I started my computer, a disk check was started. After a long time of being stuck at 10%, I force booted the computer off. Now, the computer boots past the Windows 10 logo and goes to a black screen with the cursor. This screen appears before the login screen does. I am able to move the mouse but that is the limit of my control. The mouse is also showing the little blue loading circle next to it blinking over and over.

    Windows 10 stuck on blank screen with mouse cursor at boot

    Recently I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10. Everything installed and worked great for few weeks. After 2 or 3 weeks I can't boot to Windows 10 anymore.

    The computer goes thru initial boot and before showing any windows 10 screens (no blue window, no dots etc) gets stuck on blank screen with blinking mouse cursor.

    Per Microsoft engineer who responded to my previous post, I created windows 10 ISO disk. Booted from the disk, got thru the blue windows logo and dancing dots to a "Windows Setup" box with 2 options:



    • 1. Continue with the upgrade (I already upgraded successfully and everything worked for a while)

      2. Perform a clean installation
    Continuing upgrade gets me back to blank screen with blinking cursor.

    I didn't try option 2, clean installation, because I am afraid to loose all my programs etc.

    I installed turbotax after upgrading to win 10, but I don't think turbotax is a problem. I have no problems at all after installing it on another win 10 computer.

    Now I regret upgrading to windows 10. Windows 7 worked perfectly fine.

    Any suggestions how to repair the windows 10?

    Or is there a way to go back to windows 7 without full reinstall?

    Thanks for any help
