    Windows boots up with Black Screen and a cursor.


    I haven't touched this desktop in about three months. I went to plug some cables in the back and the pc shook and turned off. When I booted it back up three dots were present on the left side of my screen. I turned it off and booted it back up and now everytime I turn it on it goes to a black screen with a cursor. I have tried all of the common fixes like uninstalling latest windows update, restoring it, resetting the computer itself. Also since it happens before I login no keyboard shortcuts can bring up command prompt or task manager. The only thing that seems to work is booting it up with s

    Windows black screen with cursor

    I     have tried following the steps of booting into safe mode, going into the control panel and uninstalling the latest windows update that caused the 'Windows black screen with cursor' error. However, now it wont even boot to the desktop, it will show 'Automatic repairs being done' and then automatically booting to safe mode. Upon checking my BIOS, the SSD drive with windows installed with it, is not even showing up in the boot list/priority. (still able to see drive in bios under System status and when checking under windows installation time.)

    Black screen after 'Starting Windows' sequence

    Sounds like the old... windows black screen of death.

    Try this quoted from "VisiHow" article "Repair Windows 7 Black Screen of Death":

    They, also, have some other options there, too.
    Google search and you will find a lot of the "Windows Black Screen of Death with cursor" fixes.

    Black Screen after Log on


    So this is not a BSOD ? Have a Windows 10 disc or USB Flash Drive made ? How are you getting to task manager Ctrl.+Alt+Del ? Any cursor on screen ?
