I have been on windows 10 for 10 months now. Yesterday, i turned my laptop off and back on, it showed the Acer logo then entered a black screen with just the mouse cursor.

I attempted to go into safe mode but i still got the same black screen. I have tried to input the password blindly but it doesn't seem like the laptop is taking any input. I have projected it to a television via the HDMI but got the same display as the laptop.

I have even refreshed it. I have held down the power button for several seconds while the battery and charger are removed.

Help please!

Whilst using an HDMI cable, log in and update your VGA drivers and AHCI drivers and see if your problem resolves.

I reckon you could try a clean reinstall and during install, select option to update drivers

If you see a mouse cursor it means that Windows bootup has initiated and is stuck due to a hard drive issue or the installation got corrupted. Your best bet would be to do a Recovery process using an USB stick or do a fresh install. I do not think it's any other hardware issue.
