    Hanging loading wheel at login/Black Screen with pointer/Cannot Locate Desktop error - Windows 10

    Problem:

    Unable to login to my computer. Presented with black screen and mouse pointer after logging into my account (I am able to see the list of accounts, the start picture, and login before getting a black screen).

    Details:

    Computer is a Lenovo Yoga 14. Originally came with Windows 8; upgraded to Windows 10 with free upgrade offer in June/July of 2016. Worked well after the upgrade for some time. Began experiencing slow start up times one or two months ago but could always
    get to my desktop. Starting Dec 24th, I've only gotten a black screen with pointer after attempting to login.

    Getting to the login screen takes several minutes. Severe lag when attempting action on login screen (typing in password, accessing options from power button in lower right hand corner). Logging in results in a spinning wheel for several minutes, then
    a black screen with mouse pointer.

    Early into my attempts to resolve, I got to a blank desktop with an error stating the desktop path could not be found.

    Solutions tried:

    1. Refresh, restore, and startup repair give errors stating action cannot be completed.

    2. Attempts to load in safe mode with networking results in a continuous black screen (no pointer). This keeps me from trying numerous solutions I've found on various forums.

    3. Attempted to find steps for creating a boot disk on thumb drive. Information states a product key is required, something I don't have since I installed via free upgrade

    4. Tried switching between monitors with Windows key and "p" as suggested in one solution - did not work.

    5. At one point I was able to get into Task Manager - no longer the case

  4. New Cloned Drive Boots Into Black Screen And A Loading Pointer

    Cloned hdd won't boot

    So I cloned my hard drive from my windows 10 laptop so I could use it in my desktop. Cloning went great so I installed the new drive into the desktop and it won't boot. I have read in other post that I need to change the boot location through the bios
    but I can't get to it. When I start my pc it shows a black screen with a dash Mark in the top left and "B2" in the bottom right corner of the screen it will sit there for about a minute and then shows the graphics card starting a d goes back to a black screen
    with a dash Mark on the right. Any help would be appreciated.
