Windows 10: Restart during boot (black screen before normal boot)

Good afternoon,
Since couple of days my desktop PC has a problem that does not compromise its use but rather annoying
When I press the button to turn it on it immediately restarts showing a black screen and after this reboot it starts booting up windows quickly and without problems
There is absolutely no problem or slowdown during use
The bios is updated to the latest version and there is no overclock applied
The only thing I noticed is in the event log that shows the error that gives the title to this topic
How can I fix it?
Many thanks in advance

:)

 

Windows 10 boots up with black screen with blinking cursor and then loads up windows like normal (why is their a black screen)

Try Enable\Disable secure boot in your BIOS. The boot black screen is the boot loader which is normally manipulated or changed to show the manufacturers name before booting into windows.

 

Windows didn't load correctly

Hi

I booted up as you said however pressing F8 during boot simply brought up a boot menu with which drive to boot with. I chose the drive with windows 10 installed. It went to a black screen then back to the bios logo then said it was diagnosing my PC and said
it did not start correctly. I went into command prompt as instructed. See attached a picture of command prompt after completing the command lines. I can launch into safe mode without issue. However it will not let me stay in normal desktop for more than a
minute before the disconnect sound happens and the screen goes black before the computer restarts.

 

Hi silver9599. Welcome to the TenForums @silver9599.

First thing I would do is look in Windows Update history and see what was delivered to you. Start with a couple of days before issue started.

I would suggest seeing if Windows Fast Startup is causing an issue. To do this I would shut off hibernation as a fast test.

At a command prompt(Admin) enter

powercfg -h off

This shuts off hibernation which disables Fast Startup. Test.

To turn hibernation back on

Powercfg -h on

 

Thanks for your help *Smile
I've already disabled both hibernation and sleep mode so do I still need to do that ?
Whereas about Windows update..I have just reinstalled windows 10 thinking it was a driver problem but the clean OS installation did not fix the problem so I have just some drivers downloads and two or three updates installed

 

No if you hibernation off then Fast Startup is not causing issue.

So if i understand you clean installed 10? Correct?

To see if you are current, Windows key + R, type winver, enter.

Are any devices reporting issues in Device Manager, little yellow signs?

 

I solved the problem by disabling hibernation in cmd and in that way the fast boot option

 

I believe you, but don't confuse the option of showing Hibernation on the Power Button with turning Hibernation off. If hibernation were truly OFF, you would never see the option to disable Fast Startup. Fast Startup is dependent on hibernation being on. The only certain way to make sure hibernation is gone is to run powercfg -h off at a command prompt. That will eliminate the options for Fast Startup & Hibernation, and delete the mega GB hiberfil.sys from the system.

 

Thanks for clearing my ideas and yes hibernation was then still on
Sorry for my mistake and thanks a lot again

 

*Thumbs You're welcome!

 

So your suggestion was right
Thanks you a lot

 

Glad the forum could help. Thanks for marking solved.
