    My screen flickers black when I move the cursor after startup.


    My screen flickers black when I move the cursor after startup. Restarting fixes the screen-flickering, but it always flickers black once I move the cursor after startup. Everything goes black, not even the cursor is visible. It's been two days since I've had this issue. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    :)

    black screen with flickering cursor after windows startup

    Hi Eric,

    Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft community. I will be glad to assist you.

    From the description of the issue, I understand that you are experiencing a black screen with a flickering cursor.

    This issue could occur due to incompatible, outdated or corrupted device drivers. You can also check if detaching all other peripheral devices except for keyboard and mouse works out the issue. The issue (black screen) you’re facing could be
    most likely related to display drivers and could be resolved by updating the drivers. Without the correct driver, the hardware or device that you want to use won't work properly.

    I would suggest you to refer to the suggestion by Sharath Srinivatava from the following link and check.

    Thanks and regards,
