    Windows won’t boot, black screen with cursor or boot loop.


    I turned on my computer just fine this morning, had to download an update for my keyboard, and so I had to restart it. When I restarted it, instead of going to the start menu it started saying fixing drives, and it got stuck on 100% for 10 minutes so I restarted it again and now it’s stuck on alternating between a boot loop on the windows logo or saying “starting automatic repairs” and then sending me to a black screen with a low res cursor. Ctrl + alt + del doesn’t work.

    Black Screen on Boot

    My pc has dumped while working in Unity and won`t boot properly anymore. All it does is showing me a black screen with a loading circle followed by a complete black screen with nothing. I can`t even see the login screen. I tried various shortcuts and methods
    but nothing helped. Here are my observations and some information.

    • I don`t have an onboard graphics card
    • I can boot up secure mode without a problem
    • I can boot into uefi without a problem
    • I can boot into windows repair screen and interact there without a problem
    • I can boot into grub from an linux dist on my usb Stick but when i trz to boot into linux the same problem occurres
    • it is possible though to boot into linux compatible version
    • Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B on black screen (nothing happened)

    • Ctrl + Shift + ESC to open taskmanager on black screen(nothing happened)
    • i`ve tried uninstalling and installing a fresh version of my graphics card driver but the black screen is still apearing
    • i`ve checked whether my windows installation or my disk is damage but both are fine
    • i`ve tried to perform a clean boot but it is also not working
    • i`ve tried to repair windows with an windows image on my usb stick but it resulted in the same problem midway through it
    I thought my graphics card is broken but than again why is it booting into secure mode at all?
