    Hi,

    I realize that you get black screen during factory reset of Windows 10. I will try to help you with this issue.

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:


    • What is the make and model of the pc?

    Try connecting to different video outputs on the PC. Sometimes a change in driver can cause the video to be sent:


    • To a different Adapter: from integrated graphics to a discrete card or vice versa.

    • To a different output: from HDMI to DVI, DisplayPort to VGA, or any other combination.

    Keep us informed to help you further.
