Windows 10: Screen leaves black boxes on desktop after I drag cursor to highlight. Windows 10

So I have my Hp laptop thats about 3 years old hooked up and older TV via HDMI. Using the TV as a second monitor for fun. I noticed that whenever I wanted to drag my mouse to highlight, it wouldl leave balck boxes on my wallpaper until eventually having the whole wallpaper go black. Whenever I changed the Icons it would reset but the laptop screen would still have the black backgroud. This started happeing after long use of the TV a day ago and happens as soon as I boot up the PC now.


It stopped happening after I unhooked the laptop from the TV.


Is there any to fix this? Or can my laptop just not handle the Older TV.

Black Screen With Cursor PLEASE HELP


THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH WINDOWS 10.

Below is a Microsoft Knoledge Base entry from April of this year.

httpw://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3055414

"The lock screen in Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10061 might appear as a black screen with a mouse cursor
Symptoms

When you sign out of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10061 and return to the lock screen, you might see only a black screen with a responsive mouse cursor. Pressing the Alt+Tab keys or the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys has no visible effect.
Workaround

If you are experiencing this issue, follow these steps to sign into Windows:

At the black screen, press the Ctrl key once on an attached physical keyboard. (You won’t see any visible change, but pressing the Ctrl key will place the cursor in the password box that you’re currently not able to see.)

Now type the password of the user that just signed out and press Enter.This will sign you back into Windows and the desktop will appear.

If you failed to sign in because you mistyped the password, press Enter once more. Then retype the password and press Enter." ...

PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING WINDOWS 10. AFTER ENTERING YOUR PASSWORD, THE CURSOR SHOULD VANISH FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WHILE WINDOWS COMPLETES THE INSTALL SETUP. MY COMPUTER, A FAST ALIENWARE, TOOK ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO COMPLETE THE SETUP AND THEN THE WINDOWS 10 DESKTOP APPEARED.
