One issue I've been experiencing with Windows 10 is where after signing out the screen will go black. This issue has been occurring on a number of machines at work, desktops with integrated graphics, desktops with graphics cards, laptops etc, virtually every type of machine has been experiencing this issue. I can still RDP to the computers, but only restarting the PC's seems to get the display to show up normally again.

Would love to know if there is any solution to this problem?
 
I had this. When I turned my pc on, it would show a black screen before the login screen BUT I had my cursor visible. Maybe lasted 30-40 seconds.

For me - it was down to the Asus x99 pros Bluetooth and inbuilt WiFi adapters being enabled via the bios as well as within windows.

I disabled both(as I use ethernet) and instant boot returned.

Aside from the above case, I'm not sure what other reasons cause it to be honest.

Edit: It used to last longer than that as well before I found the Bluetooth and WiFi fix. Maybe 1-2 minutes but this was when I had lock screen and login screen wallpaper enabled.

Disabled lock screen via group policy editor, removed login wallpaper via registry and it sped it up.
 
There are loads of causes to win 10 black screen m8, its one of the most common complaints with windows 10 i found. If ya google it you will find lots of guides for removing it but since it can be caused by lots of things theyre all suggesting different solutions.

Some of the most common ones i found were try turning off automatic updates, as sometimes when you boot it just starts updating but doesnt say anything, it just gives you a black screen. Try disabling stuff in your windows startup, stuff i found causing it for me were anti virus programs, and overclocking software which once i disabled no more black screens.

I would just google it m8 and try a few of the solutions people are offering, ya might get lucky and find the one that works for you.
