Windows 10 Black Screen + Cursor

Viper4060 · July 31, 2015

So i have an issue with windows 10 I see windows 10 log me into my account welcome screen then I see a black screen cursor and nothing else (sometimes i get a fraps error message could not ) and Norton pops up after awhile says its preforming background tasks Cntrl+Alt+Del click task manger does nothing. So after awhile I heard it was gpu drivers, so i tried iGPU same thing. Safe Mode would not work. So i tried Safe Mode with CMD. Then i created a windows new admin user. Updated my Gpu driver (by this time I was back on my 780ti). That user worked fine. But my other user is still a turd.

Upgrade or clean install?

Any chance you could've deleted files in Program files?

Happened to me once (and I've only rebooted/logged in a few times.) After waiting about 30 seconds it finally loaded everything.

I have let it set there at the black screen for 5 hours.

Well guys i think i found the solution, I remembered that i had a custom theme/patched windows 8.1 and I uninstalled that patch and theme back to normal 8 then updated.
