So basically when I start up my pc my screen will go black after the welcome screen for 30 seconds or so then It will bring up my desktop like everything is normal, this has just started today and I'm really not sure what to do...

Probably loading the desktop? Do you have an SSD?

Yes I do, normally I just load up instantly. I may just be dumb?

That could very well be a possibility lol. Check the event log? Open Task Manager and disable some start up applications that hog system resources.

I don't have many programs that open up at start and non of them should be using that many resources and nothing crazy in event log.

my idea would be restart your system look in you event log what your system was doing while the screen was black.

Alright thanks man
