Windows 10: User Account still there, but black screen

Hi,
Sorry if this has been answered before, but I can only find non-working solutions for a similar problem after a Win10 install, which is not my situation.

So, I have Win10 installed for 2 months, upgrading from Win7, no issues. Last week all of a sudden (I suspect update, however could not find signs of a computer restart) my main (Admin) profile turns up a black screen. App announcements show, opening a new process shows, but basically all my navigational aids are gone.

Starting up Explorer.exe tells me it cannot be started and halts the computer untill I close the process again.

Since I have been using this account for over 8 years, copying or moving stuff to a newly created account (which works perfectly fine, btw) is not the road I want to take. Hope anyone can help me.

Thx in advance.

:)

 

Windows Settings cannot launch! Help!

I know there was an exact discussion thread but I've already did everything and still can't solve my problem.

To open an admin account, I even opened the command prompt box and did it. I did manage to open a new user account and made it as administrator.

Problem is, the moment I sign into that new admin account, the whole screen turned black. Assuming it is because it has to load all the various things to make it as an admin account I left it running.

But it just remained black. Nothing pops up. I pressed the "ON" button of my laptop and it immediately flashes back to the lock screen of the new user. I signed into my old user account and it runs smoothly(very fast)

But the problem of not being able to access my settings still remain. I tried to sign into the new admin account yet again and it's still the same thing. JUST A BLACK SCREEN

 

Can't switch between users on Windows 10 gets black screen upon switching users

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

To isolate this issue, I suggest you to create another user account and try to switch between your current user account and the new use account and check if you are facing the same issue.

You can refer to the link below for more information on how to create new user account:
