your computer screen lamp is broken
you can also use an external hdmi monitor.

I should have mentioned I have a desktop so I'm technically already connected to an external monitor.

It's probably the OS updating itself without telling you. I had a similar issue with my mum's w10 laptop; after a couple of reboots and turning auto updates on/off/on/off/etc, it finally came good.

I recommend upgrading to Windows 7 to avoid these problems.

Clearly not, as OP stated he can see the boot process and the mouse pointer.

>>260524
This
It boots then auto logins and bam to black I can see the mouse though.

>>260548
Try pressing ctrl, then typing your password, then pressing enter.

It's something to do with Windows thinking there's two screens connected, and displaying the logon UI on the second screen that doesn't actually exist.

>>260565
Tried this to no avail.

>>260561
I don't have a password, is there an alternative? Though do know I have tried cycling my view to fix that and didn't get results but if you think I've done it wrong please clarify.

>>260590
Hit enter a bunch of times?

winkey-P a bunch of times is also worth trying.

Well I tried it thanks for the advice but no dice.

>>260367
Disable fast boot?

>>260704
I have also done that though I didn't understand as to why that is supposed to fix it.

>>260708
For some older IGP restoring from hibernation could cause a black screen problem, likely a driver issue. Fast boot is restoration from pseudo-hibernation hence it could cause that issue as well

From black screen with mouse.

Press the space-bar and enter your login password or pin (yes your doing this blind)

You should now be logged into windows if the desktop does not appear after 30 seconds then press Win+P keys, down arrow keys twice, and enter to extend display.

>Win+P keys, down arrow keys twice, and enter to extend display.

Just realised that's "duplicate" not "extend", but duplicate is good.

Also, this has to be done from fresh boot/reboot.

>>260737
As I said it auto logins so no need for password but I'll try from a fresh boot to do duplicate and see if it does anything and get back to you.

>>260776
>auto logins

Ah, yeah. Missed that. Oops.

>>260737
Tried your instructions but we have no results but thanks for the advice anyways.

>>260783
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager
Click the File menu and then choose “Run new task”
Type “explorer.exe” into the run box and hit “OK” to relaunch Windows Explorer

>>260877
Haven't tried that yet but I'm tired so it might be hours before results. Sorry for keeping you waiting and thank you for the suggestions.

>>260887
I sometimes boot to black on win10 and this works for me. Hope it works

>>260891
Tried to but it wouldn't pop up.
Also tried crl alt del and task manager that way as well and no dice.

>>260954
sorry then, can't help you bro.

>>261214
It's all good
