bro can u plz tell me which file u restored might your and my was same prob

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

@@RakeshKumar-hb5tq well you have to get to the restore menu first. That's the critical part. I usually only go back to the point where I know everything was working properly. System restore points can get damaged or corrupted too, so if you go back to your latest restore point and it doesn't work, try again and go one point further back. And even if Windows says the restore failed, reboot anyway nice seen 1000 times where it tells me it failed and I reboot and everything works. It will even tell me it failed after it successfully boots lol

I keep trying this and it ONLY results in a screen that allows the safe mode options or start windows normally and they all result in the same condition: black screen with white cursor. Any advice on how to get past this?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

I would download a Windows installer, boot to it and see if it lets you get to a command prompt, where you could run chkdsk, SFC or even system restore. Here's how to do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5_EgIOumZupqas Keep me posted as to your results :)

[@xenom5659]

I just had a Windows Update “could not complete, undoing changes” Brand new computer (11th gen i7) is now stupid slow, takes 5 minutes to execute a command prompt, open up the settings menu, etc. Now when I try to do the update in settings, after about 5 minutes it gives me black screen. Any ideas? Happy to explain more if necessary.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Hard to say. Could be software or hardware at this point. If brand new, I would go ahead and run a factory recovery to eliminate hardware. If it ends up hardware (most likely drive), submit warranty claim or refund/exchange. I always try to eliminate one or the other right off the bat...too many variables otherwise

I have had to use the "repair your computer" option many times in one sitting, even though Windows didn't act like it was doing anything, often times repeating that over and over again works. There is also the option of removing the c:\windows\software distribution folder (where Windows stores the downloaded updates)...that gets a bit more complicated, but almost always does the trick

Is it an issue of windows? Or problem of my computer, because after i update i experience it.

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

It is not uncommon after a Windows update for this to happen. Many times with the Windows updates you just have to restart multiple times or get into safe mode for Windows to sort of address its own issues. Sometimes it's malware, sometimes Windows. Sometimes it's just updates. You just have to start with the most likely thing and work your way to a solution

What if my computer doesn't appear anything but they show me that it's powered but when I press power button the screen isn't turned on

I would still start with safe mode. If you can't get your screen to come on at all, you could have bigger issues, such as LCD or video output failure. Or it could just be that your system is stuck in hibernation. Hard to say, but trying safe mode is always a good start to see what actually works and what doesn't

Hi! So I tried all these except for the last option, because I didn't have thst option available to me, and unfortunately nothing had worked. 🙁 This problem started yesterday when my monitor (a TV kind) couldn't pick up a signal (for some reason it does this sometimes, and sometimes removing and then inserting the HDMI cable fixes it, but if not, I have to force the comiter to shut down). Yesterday, it was the second option, but my PC wanted to do a scan due to the way I had shut it down as opossed to the way you SHOULD shut a PC down, which isn't holding down the power button, but seeing my screen was mostly black, I can see where I'd put my cursor to shut it down the normal way. Honestly, it could be a virus, and I don't know what to do. 🙁 Can someone help!? 🙏

Should probably mention that I'm using Windows 7. I also noticed this video isn't the newest so I don't know if to expect any help any time soon. 🙁 This really sucks.

What about a black screen with no cursor? A virus attacked and disabled my PC out of the blue yesterday morning. I stupidly let my virus protection lapse because it interferred with my music editing software and I guess that was when the virus struck. I was able to try and get to a restore point. The message I received said the scan was successful. But it was after this that I received a black screen without a cursor. Could it be that there is no longer any Windows software left on the PC? I cannot get into the PC at all at this point. it appears totally disabled. Should I try to reinstall Windows 10? This seems like a more serious problem. Using the Ctrl+Windows icon+Shift +8 command has no effect. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Status 50 certainly explains the black screen, and also usually indicates bad drive sectors, which means the hard drive is damaged or failing. Even reinstalling Windows only buys you a finite amount of time. Best bet is to get your data off the drive using Hirens Boot CD XP mode, grab your data and replace that faulty drive.

You will either need to access the recovery partition on the drive, which could be damaged already, or a Windows 7 CD/DVD installation disc. Just understand that the more your use that drive, the more potential damage you will cause to any files you need to recover. If you don't have a DVD but have a legal copy installed, you can find Windows 7 installation media on just about any torrent site and they will activate legally through Microsoft

Great video, I did get the same problem on an asus laptop with windows 10 home edition, after trying everything with no luck an error show up ( LogonUI.exe - application error) anyway couldn’t not get it fix, I did check the hard drive for errors and no luck, data still there but I have hard time trying to accessing it it was really slow, make me thing hard drive must be bad. Do you think this is a virus problem?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

With loginui.exe, it could be. I'd definitely run a system file checker (from command prompt, type "SFC /scannow")....but when your login GUI is damaged, you're likely looking at a Windows reload. But you might get lucky, definitely try it first!

Alguien q me ayude, cuando estoy jugando y pasa un rato se me pone todo en negro y no responde nada, la pantalla esta en negro pero esta prendida, ninguna combinación de teclas funciona, es muy molesto, pasa muy seguido

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Lo siento, no hablo Español

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Have you tried to access safe mode to see if the problem persists?

[@uuzieel]

@@AskYourComputerGuy didn't try it, I was also thinking about formatting my hard drives that I haven't formatted in more than 1 year, and I'm going to start from scratch with the SSD and the empty hard drives, do you think this could solve the different blue screens?

[@fruzefn6874]

The first option wasnt on my pc i dont now why but it is Windows 10 ? And when i click all the options i Can click it is still showing Black screen

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

This video was made for a Windows 7 PC. It will work going backwards in versions but you will need to boot to Windows troubleshooting to get into troubleshooting screens. I have made several videos showing how to do this, specifically the video that shows you how to bypass a Windows 10 password. That should help you

[@pump1740]

Ummm what does it mean if i dont have the "repair your computer" option

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

If that option isn't available under troubleshooting menu, that's odd, but just go to the next step. If you can get to the command prompt from there, you have lots of other repair options

Hey man do you know how ill fix this : When i turn on my pc and i wait for few seconds theres a black screen with loading animation and i can see my mouse cursor. Idk why it happen, i dint turn on my pc for like 3 month and it happened liked this

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

I would start troubleshooting to see if it's because of hardware or software. Start here: How to fix ANY Windows problem with the built-in repair tool kzbin.info/www/bejne/n160eaeAfKaLnas

[@AkonGamingMizo]

@@AskYourComputerGuy the only thing i can use is the bios setting

[@AkonGamingMizo]

@@AskYourComputerGuy lemme tell you extra detail. When i turn my pc on the logo asrock come up with the keys to open bios and then after 3 seconds a spinning circle with the asrock comes up (the keya to open bios in gone) and then after 1 minute or more the screen becomes Black and then the spinning circle comes up with mouse cursor (nothing other than those 2) also i dint turn on my pc for like 3 or 4 months because we were constructing our house, i also put my pc under cloth so it wont break

[@pitongsingsing]

[@joltexe24]

I had to update my graphics tablet and phone program at the same time. And i forced a restart, leading me to the black screen. I hope leaving my computer on the black screen for a few hours will fix the problem

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Try CTRL-ALT-DEL...see if anything pops up. Could just be Explorer not loading

[@joltexe24]

@AskYourComputerGuy I was able to force a system repair and it's working again. Thanks for the info

[@dineshdilrukshan5232]

My pc cannot work this cmd sfc force scan

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Can you get to a command prompt? If so, try "sfc /scannow" (no quotes)

[@dineshdilrukshan5232]

I do that can not work

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Can you be more specific? Do you get an error message? I need more details to help figure this out. Thx!

[@Skylar_luvs_Kandi]

Hey I tried everything and it still won't work. What should I do

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

These are all the steps you can take prior to a full factory restore. If you've tried them all, that's probably your next step. If you have data you need to save, best to have someone extract that for you before you do, because you will lose them all during the restore

[@Skylar_luvs_Kandi]

@@AskYourComputerGuy I'm having a black screen and now it says unknown hard error

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Unknown Hard Error generally occurs due to corrupt system files, registry entries, malware attacks, and certain Windows updates (for some users). This error may lead the system to malfunction or even crashing; your system and data are at great risk. You definitely need a factory restore at minimum. Windows is corrupted or damaged.

[@Skylar_luvs_Kandi]

@@AskYourComputerGuy last question I'm sorry how do I a factory reset?

[@AskYourComputerGuy]

Depending on your model, you will have certain keys at bootup (usually have to hit escape or F1 to get to them). These allow you to get to BIOS or specify a different boot drive. Once at this menu, you might see an option for factory restore. If not, you'll need to follow my video on how to download a Windows ISO disc to have a Windows install disc to reload from. You'll need someone else to let you use their computer to do this obviously. Friend or family member
