Question

Monday, March 19, 2018 9:07 PM

Hi,

In the last week I have started to get a black screen when I log into my account. It seems to be getting worse and after entering my password I can no longer log in just getting a black screen.

Another user on the same PC and admin accounts can log in fine.

Where should I start looking to fix this?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

I've uncovered the easiest answer elsewhere on the web.

It turns out that the App Readiness service seems to be causing the problem.

If you go into Services then disable App readiness the problem disappears.

As a side effect you lose any personalised tiles although I never use them anyway. Also there might some issues with windows updates but this was an easy fix.

Are you able to delete and re-create this user ? 

If not, then tried repairing ?

Hi,

Does the machine join to a domain and you are doing a domain login? 

If you are a domain user, try to login on another machine, seeing if the problem still exists.

if you are local user, I think you should repair you user profile, refer to:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/help/14039/windows-7-fix-corrupted-user-profile

Copy all of the files except the following user configuration profile to a new account.

Ntuser.dat

Ntuser.dat.log

Ntuser.ini

To evaluate the computer environment please post logs for troubleshooting.

Using administrative command prompt copy and paste this whole command:

Make sure the default language is English so that the logs can be scanned and read.

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3813-language-add-remove-change-windows-10-a.html

The command will automatically collect the computer files and place them on the desktop.

Then use one drive or drop box to place share links into the thread for troubleshooting.

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Share-OneDrive-files-and-folders-9fcc2f7d-de0c-4cec-93b0-a82024800c07

This command will automatically collect these files:  msinfo32, dxdiag, mini dumps, drivers, hosts, install, uninstall, services, startup, event viewer files, etc.

Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste the whole command:

copy %SystemRoot%\minidump\.dmp "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\&dxdiag /t %Temp%\dxdiag.txt&copy %Temp%\dxdiag.txt "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\SFdebugFiles\&type %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts >> "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\hosts.txt"&systeminfo > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\systeminfo.txt"&driverquery /v > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\drivers.txt" &msinfo32 /nfo "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\msinfo32.nfo"&wevtutil qe System /f:text > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\eventlog.txt"&reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\uninstall.txt"&reg export "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\installed.txt"&net start > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\services.txt"&REM wmic startup list full /format:htable >"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\startup.html"&wmic STARTUP GET Caption, Command, User >"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\startup.txt"

Sometimes the dxdiag file needs to be found and saved manually:  In the left lower corner search type:  dxdiag > When the DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens click on the next page button so that each tab is opened > click on save all information > save to desktop > post one drive or drop box share link into the thread
