Black screen after login (sometimes)

[Ansger]

I need some help with finding out what the problem is here. 

 

When I start my PC everything seems fine untill I get to the lockscreen. everything is displayed normally. Even the lockscreen itself looks normal. But after i type in my password and hit enter i gat a black screen. Windows itself still works i think because when i move the cursor it appears on screen and reacts normally but the screen stays completely black appart from the white cursor (no UI elements, no background, no app icons,...) 

I still can get to the lockscreen when i prse ctr+alt+del and select "different user" or "log off" but when I try to log in again it still gives me the black screen. 

 

Yesterday I logged into a different account and that worked like normal. Then I switched to my account again and it worked fine. today I tried to do the same thing but I got black screens on both accounts. 

I solved it by rebooting in safe mode and then back again. Now I could log in without any problem, but I don't know what will happen if I restart again and try to log in again. 

 

What could be the cause of this problem? 

 

system info

Specs: Asus prime B350plus, Ryzen 5 1400, Nvidia GTX 1050 ti, Corsair vengeance LPX DDR4 8GB, Seasonic power supply (i think 500W), Sandisk 128 GB SSD, Seagate Baracuda 1TB HDD. 

OS: Windows 10.

By the way: I am currently updating Nvidia drivers. Could that have caused the issue?

NVidia drivers can be a problem, but not because they're not up-to-date - the same drivers was "fresh and new" few months ago, right?

Problem may be with old NVidia drivers left in your system (and other crap).

 

Download DriverStore Explorer (RAPR) and remove all older NVidia drivers (you have even "Select Old Drives" button that may help).

 

I have once black screen like you described, but I cannot reproduce it now, and I don't remember is that after or before I used that program.
