    Windows black screen at login screen


    If you can log in via safe mode one of the solutions is to turn off use sign-in info to auto finish setting up device after update or restart in Windows 10.For Windows 10 (Version 1709), select the Start button, select Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options, then make sure Use my sign in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart is turned off.For previous versions of Windows 10, select the Start button, select Settings > Update & security > Window Update > Advanced options, then select the check box next to Use my sign in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update.

    Another solution is to uninstall the graphics driver via safe mode:

    1. Uninstall all graphics/display drivers on safe mode using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) https://www.wagnardsoft.com
    2. Reboot.
    3. You'll see a black screen for a minute or so.
    4. Reinstall all the graphics/display drivers (latest).
    5. Reboot.

    A last resort is to create a new user:
    From the black screen press ctrl alt del to open task manager -> file -> run new task type "cmd.exe" without quotes, and check the admin privileges box.
    in cmd: type: net user /add [username] [password]
    username and password without []
    press enter, then type: net localgroup administrators [username] /add https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/8boyyl/black_screen_when_trying_to_log_in_to_windows/dx8r5b1
    Once logged into the new account you should be able to access the old account’s folders to transfer personal files over to the new account.

  3. Windows 10 Insider Preview 14342 Lock Screen background is black.

    When I switch on my laptop, the Lock Screen background picture(which I've set on Windows Spotlight) shows only a default picture each time. Which also shows up on the login screen

    Now when I lock the laptop the Lock Screen background is completely black, though the windows spotlight image does show up on the login screen. ****? How may I repair this on my side or is there gonna be an update?

    Edit: After much research I've come to know that the lock screen on boot up is called the system lock screen, and the login screen after that is the system login screen. The screen that is black is the USER lock screen. Cortana, the clock and everything
    else appears fine on the black screen.

    Screen turning black

    I can login but after like 10 seconds the screen turns black and it does not work. If the screen is black long enough then it will change screen resolution and windows will not work any more .

    Hi Stycx and welcome to Tenforums.

    After restart try hitting F8 key to get to Advanced boot options. If F8 won't work, sometimes user have to press the switch on back (or pull the cable out) up to three times and Windows will automatically boot to advanced menu.

    Once there, select troubleshooting and select restore (hope you have some restore points there)
