    Windows 10 boots, stuck at black screen with spinning cursor


    When I boot my computer, about 40% of the time, I get stuck on a black screen. I see the cursor there, spinning happily, but nothing happens. I see no activity on my SSD. It will just hang there.


    When I hit the power button, it goes into shutdown mode, but often I have to hard power down otherwise it still just hangs there.


    Also, when I do get Windows running, it will freeze for 30 seconds or longer. Sometimes I have to do a hard shut down, but generally it will unfreeze and continue working.


    Thoughts?


    I am running Windows 1909. I try to update and it keeps giving me an error.

    :)

    Windows 10 stuck on black screen after boot.


    Hi guys, I'm having an issue with my laptop. Updated to Windows 10 Pro x64 about a month ago. Two days ago I shutdown the system just fine but just yesterday when I booted it, it got past the Acer logo during boot followed by a black screen as usual... BUT it stuck there forever. Restarted it multiple times, same result. Sometimes the cursor shows up but its useless as its just the cursor. *Confused

    Tried the following things.


    • Tried CTRL + SHIFT + ESC for task manager but nothing came up.
    • Tried CTRL + ALT t+ DEL still nothing.
    • Went through recovery options then selected safe mode but, to my surprise, the same result.
    • Then used the chkdsk command through cmd in recovery options, didn't find any problem.
    • Ran the sfc /scannow command from boot, didn't found any integrity violations. *Shock

    Any suggestions? I still have to try system restore though. *Think
