windows 11 black screen after login

How are you supposed to do that if the screen is black???

Hi, I had same problem today - after logging in to my account (Win 11) the screen was black, only mouse was visible, could not run even Task manager, reboots did not help. Only Ctrl+Alt+Del worked.

I restarted the PC and set *Flight-mode ON* before I logged in and it worked normally again after login. Crazy, only Bitdefender agent and SecurityHealthSystray.exe are allowed on Startup.

Hope this helps

I am having the same problem myself. only with the most recent update of windows.
nothing seems to load in just a black screen with my mouse floating around. ive tryed restarting "windows explorer" from the task manager to it going away and nothing happening.

Ive spent time with a friend trying to figure out what was happening as he suggested running " SFC /scannow " in the cmd window. that lead to it saying some files where in need of fixing. i don't know if i can get those log's now.

help here may lead to an explanation to what might be happening.

The only way that i have been able to get my computer running again was restoring it back to just before the update was even installed.

hold down shift while clicking the system restart to get myself into the options to do so. getting kind of annoying and bothersom.

since it may help i have a pre-built starforge sentinel PC.

i have the same problem. Windows auto update installed something between december 18 and 19 on my computer

and suddenly after my next PC start and login, there was no desktop anymore, just a black image.

I can open the task manager but thats it. Theres no search bar or start menu or anything. The Windows repair tool for the startup services

didnt find any problems.

Device manager doesnt show any problems. SSD health is at 100%.

The only way to get my PC working again, was Windows recovery and then going back to a earlier december date.

Then everything loaded up normally, no problems at all. But i had to pause the Win updates because whatever its trying to install,

would kill my Windows again after a restart. So now i dont know what to do about Windows update

Hi, I have the same problem after the update because my windows defender was disabled/not functional and now I have a black screen after the login. How I can find the problem?
