Dual Boot Black screen windows.

Post by WBIP22 »

Hello everyone, I am having this weird issue.

My windows sometimes logs in and sometimes gets stuck in a blackscreen. I can manage to get into the grub boot menu, I can get into linux and windows, motherboard even beeps.
I am not sure what is the issue, sometimes windows takes a long time in a black screen but eventually boots.

Both installations are in an ssd, I've encountered no issues only when I want to boot. I recently changed my motherboard, I am not sure if its related. I was able to use both installations fine if that were the case

Hello and welcome to the forum.
I can manage to get into the grub boot menu, I can get into linux and windows, motherboard even beeps.
So Linux boots fine every time from grub, and windows only boots sometimes??
If so, boot in Linux and do this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo grub-update
That probably won't fix it, but who knows.

I'm not sure how to fix a windows boot. Maybe somebody will come along, but I recommend you hit some windows forums to try to solve this.
