Windows 10: Recovery Boot Black Screen when trying to reach BIOS.

I have a Gigabyte Aorus 570x motherboard and I enabled Ultra Fast boot in the bios after recently upgrading to Windows 11. Now that I enabled it, I am unable to reach the bios and I need to in order to turn secure boot on. I looked at another post, which recommended starting the PC in recovery mode. I tried it, and my monitor started with a black screen. From there, I restarted my PC and it led me here unable to find an answer.

:)

 

Windows 10 black screen after bios screen. Recovery media also shows black screen.

My PC just shows a black screen after the bios screen. This started happening after rebooting my pc after a virus scan. The windows boot logo doesn't even show up. I tried to repair this using my Windows 10 installation usb but after showing the windows
boot logo, it just shows a black screen so I'm unable to use any of the recovery options. Any suggestions on what I should do now?

 

Boot Usually Fails with Black Screen

Windows 10 Pro, [Version 10.0.19043.1288], sfc and dism system checks OK. I rarely reboot my machine, a habit from years of making long runs lasting many weeks or even months. When a WU comes that requires a reboot (think Update Tuesday), it nearly always hangs on boot. I find that the same thing happens when I reboot for any reason. Process:

• Takes a long time to shut down,
• UEFI Bios loads, gives me a chance to change the boot priority and such, then boots the Windows bootloader,
• Takes a long time to get to the light blue screen, then
• Goes to black screen.

At this point, one of two things happens: the desktop background comes, on, gradually populated by the widgets that make the lock screen, OR, the black screen remains forever, with the monitor turned off. Recovery is to power down the motherboard and power back up. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but that usually does it.

Sometimes, powering off and on doesn't bring it back. Then, I boot to a recent Windows 10 Rescue Media thumb drive and ask it to repair the boot sequence. It declares failure, but it will boot to the lock screen if I select "Exit to Windows."

I decided to try running bootrec to fix things. I used the simple way to get to Windows RE, Start -> Settings -> Update and Security -> Recovery, then, under Advanced Startup, select Restart Now. I got a strange message, something like "Making changes, computer will turn off when complete" and that's what it did. I powered off and on and booted to rescue media and asked to repair boot sequence, the selected exit to Windows.

Later this morning, I booted to Windows RE through the Start menu and tried to run bootrec. I got:

• bootrec by itself brings up the brief help file, showing that bootrec is there.
• bootrec /fixmbr gives the error "file not found"
• bootrec /fixboot gives the error "file not found"
• bootrec /rebuildbcd gives the error "Windows systems found: 0"

I exited to Windows and it booted OK, as it does from Windows RE on thumb drive. I have not yet had time to boot to rescue media and try bootrec again. I'm making a new rescue media, and it's taking all day and into the evening.

Any suggestions on how to fix my boot? I'm going to try booting to rescue media on thumb drive and try running bootrec that way. Any suggestions on how I can fix my \\Rescue partition?

 

windows 10 can't boot, black screen.

Hello,

• What is the make and model of you system?
• Do you receive any exact error message?

There can be many reasons for booting to a black screen. These screens may appear with or without the mouse pointer. The main causes observed are:

• 
  The video output is being sent to an unexpected port
  
• Problems with the driver for your display adapter

I suggest you to refer the below link and follow the suggestions provided by Sharath Srinivasa on August 7, 2015 and see if this helps in resolving the issue.
