    Black Screen After Logon - explorer.exe and task manager crashes


    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (x64)
    Toshiba L650-102

    After Logon, I only see Black Screen

    - I can open Ctrl+Alt+Delete and the task manager, but when i run a new task, Task Manager Crashes
    - explorer.exe crashes at startup and i can't run it since Task manager crashes
    - I tried System Restore, Same problem
    - "Repair My Computer" won't detect my problem
    - Safe Mode also has the same problem, Crashing Task Manager, No Explorer

    What should i do? I am not using my PC for weeks...
    THANKS FOR REPLYING

    I see you are running Windows 7, 8 & 10. How have you got these set up, are they on separate hard drives or on separate partitions on the one drive.

    It would be helpful if you supplied a screen shot of Disc Management as well.

    hi

    While you are in safe mode, open task manager and open a new task , type 'cmd' to open the command prompt with administrative privileges.

    1. run sfc /scannow.... See if this resolve this issue. if not i will advice you on the next step.

    In safe mode, Task Manager also crashes when running new tasks. Also there is so ecplorer.exe, i might think about upgrading to Windows 8 later if i can back up my files. Or maybe i can fix this problem!

    Btw i tried sfc /scannow earlier, but it didn't fix it. But thanks for replying!

    All right

    of to the second solution

    open regedit and navigate to the following :

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    Black Screen After Logon - explorer.exe and task manager crashes-winlogon.png

    In Winlogon, on the right side, you should notice a value called “Shell“. In the RHS Pane, ensure that the default string value of Shell is explorer.exe.

    Double-click this value. Make sure only ‘explorer.exe‘ is given the value of Shell. If you see anything else there, simply delete it and leave only ‘explorer.exe’ .

    Exit the Registry Editor.

    Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
