Windows 10: Windows black screen after login. No task manager

I have seen many replies, but none worked.


after loging in at the login screen, i get a black display with cursor. Ctl-alt-del brings a screen, but the task manager does not open. Booting to safe mode works, but device manager wont open.


I ran Dism, Sfc, in safe mode, all completed fine, still only black screen


I have no idea how to get windows to work again.

i would appreciate considering the problem and not sending me to an existing article that tells me to do anything graphical in regular mode, since there is only a black screen!



Thanks,

dan

Black screen AFTER login, no task manager showing up!


I keep finding solutions for the issue with a black screen before login or after login and to use the task manager, but my problem is a little different.

I can log in using my pin, and press ctrl+alt+dlt to get the option to bring up the task manager. However, when i click it... no task manager pops up!

I'm at a loss, been in hold with Microsoft for over an hour now. Please help!

 

Black screen after login


This thread lead me to a very simple fix for exactly the same Black Screen After Login problem, but I have a different fix (it took a few hours to solve it though!).

I think it's best to do this from another Administrator account.
If you do not have another Administrator account then this is how to create one (I have copied and modified this bit from Black screen after upgrading to Windows 10 - Microsoft Community ):

1. Ctrl+Alt+Del, select Task Manager, File->Run new task... Open: cmd.exe then check the "Create this task with administrator privileges" then click OK.
2. In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands (changing “<password>” to something of your choice):
   net user test <password> /add
   net localgroup Administrators test /add
3. Reboot the PC

To fix the Black Screen After Login problem, from another Administrator account, just delete all the files in the following directory:C:\Users\<BlackScreenUser>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Caches\
Obviously replacing <BlackScreenUser> with the user account that has the issue.

 

Windows 10 - black screen with cursor after login

Hi WB,

I had a similar Black Screen problem I documented on this site and solved my problem.

The following may not help you but it fixed my problem.

MS responses in this forum are formulaic based upon keywords IMHO.

Try this:

• Login to Windows 10 and if you have a Black Screen, wait about 15 minutes (to be sure) before you get bored and decide to reboot. I've had the experience that after a MS software update that when the computer reboots, it sits there with a Black screen
  for a while. I've seen this a few times and if I walked away and come back 30-60 minutes later, it often is working.
• Alternatively, (I've seen this several times), at the Black Screen: turn off your monitor and after a few seconds turn it back on. My display card ( an Nvidia variant I think ) sometimes has trouble upon boot. When I cycle the monitor off/on, the display
  comes up and works.
• The following solution to a Black Screen problem was discovered after I upgraded to Win 10 from Win 8.1 (2 weeks later). MS had pushed some update which conflicted with a Startup program and then the startup list was aborted and the S/W was left in an
  unstable state. Try this:
  • After login and encountering Black Screen, try CTRL-ALT-DEL. This should bring up a menu (if windows is partially running and you don't have a display driver issue). If you get the menu, select Task Manager. This brought up a single white window in the
    middle of my black screen. Expand the window by dragging the corner and you should see the task list. If you do, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, bail out. This solution will not work for you.
  • Task Manager has now integrated the capabilities of the old msconfg.exe (if you remember that). Go to the Start Up tab and you should see a list of programs that will execute upon login. Most are enabled. Some may be disabled. Try disabling non-MS startup
    programs. Save and restart.
  • There is an element of educated guesswork here but for me this solved my problem and upon the next boot, I was able to see the desktop and navigate the menus.
  • If this works, your next task is to go back to Task Manager, Startup, and re-enable the entries you disabled one by one and reboot until you discover the offending program.

I did not need to re-install Windows or re-install device drivers as seems to be the popular suggestions.

Hope some of this helps. Good luck.
