Black screen after login
Hey! I have had windows 10 for a while now, but ever since release I have a pretty huge issue. After having it installed for a while (week or two) it gives me some weird windows notification (Didn't screenshot it fast enough, but is is very long with weird symbols) and after that my windows gets completely wrecked. My start menu stops working, and when I press windows shortcuts (Like Win+E to open computer) It takes around 6-7 seconds. Before the issue it starts instantly when I press it (Windows installed on SSD, it's usually lightning fast)
Then when I restart the computer and login, everything goes completely black. I can login, since the login screen is normal, but the moment I finish entering my password I get greeted by a black screen and only mouse cursor visible. I can wait for 5 minutes and still nothing happens. I can ctrl-alt-delete and enter task manager, where I am able to start processes manually. It looks like this after I manually start things like spotify and mozilla. I am running dual screens, so spotify is on the left, and the right one has task manager running, with mozilla minimized.
The weird thing is that this exact thing happens after windows 10 has been installed for around a week. This is the second time it happens, and the only solution I found last time was to do clean install of everything. After that everything was perfect again. Last time I ran the SFC scannow command, and the other more lengthy one that is supposed to fix that command. It said windows files had been repaired, but nothing noticable was fixed when I restarted. Doing this every week gets a little frustrating, so hopefully this issue is solvable without having to.
