Windows 10: Windows stuck on black screen with loading cursor during start-up

There were no start-up issues for the past several months. The only thing that changed recently was downloading a game on Xbox Gamepass Avowed, and updating my graphics driver via Nvidia App. My previous launch from sleep was black screen, and was fixed my restarting my computer. After this launch from sleep also show black screens, I restarted my computer and now I'm stuck with a black screen.What I've already tried:Ctrl+win+shift+b -> reloads graphics driver, but no fix.Ctrl+alt+del & ctrl+shift+esc -> nothing.Letting it load for 15+ minutes -> nothing.Restarting, shutting dow

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 'Starting Windows' sequence

Hi,

I locked my computer before I went away for a couple of days and came back to a black screen with only the mouse cursor visible.
Every time I try to start the computer, it will go through the initial startup sequence of displaying the manufacture's logo for the motherboard and then it will say 'Starting Windows' After which point it will just display a black screen with only the mouse cursor visible.

I can access the motherboard's features absolutely fine and the options such as safe mode, start windows normally etc are available.

I've tried:
Startup Repair - No problems.
Windows Recovery Diagnostic Tool - No problems.
Chkdsk - No problems found.
There are no dates available for System Restore.
It won't start in safe mode. It runs through the loading then same result as before, only the cursor visible.

As a last attempt I cleared the CMOS, but with the same outcome as before.

I thought it could perhaps be GPU related, but it doesn't seem so.
I have 2 GPUs, both R9 290. They were both working absolutely fine before I left - no problems whatsoever.
I have tried them each one by one but they produce the same result individually ( after 'starting windows' a black screen with only the mouse cursor appears).

Specs can be found in my 'system specs' section.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
