My windows returning a black screen with cursor after logging in. I cannot do anything on the screen except moving the cursor all over. Can anybody help?
The problem can happen due to a lot of things such as corrupted windows files, unsupported display drivers, viruses, etc.
So, far here are the best fixes for the black screen issue with a cursor on Windows 8
- If you are using Avast antivirus, try removing it or adding an exception to
explorer.exe. Avas is known to create problems by blocking explorer from starting on windows causing the black screen issue. - Try uninstalling your display drivers.
- Run a startup repair.
- Restore your PC to a previous working restore point.
