Getting the error: C:/Windows/system32/config/systemprofile/Desktop is unavailable. Resulting in a black screen and unable to open anything but task manager. Also windows will not restore to a previous version which makes me think the update corrupted files somewhere. Tried manually creating a folder through command prompt for the desktop (folder already exists) still not able to fix this nonsense. Will I need to do a clean install of w10? Maybe sfc scanning will work? Edited April 25, 2019 by Pingfuzzboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

But what causes my problem is my game keypad that I keep next to my keyboard. If that sucker is plugged in when I start up I either get the same error as you or a blue screen, But if UNPLUGGED when i start up no problem at all. So my suggestion would be unplug everything and start up then see what happens. It might not solve your problem but its worth a try before wiping your hard drive and starting again. Good Luck Pingfuzzboi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Device manager/display adapters/right click on device/properties and go to events --- there you will see recorded any changes made Do that on all devices if you wish baldie and Pingfuzzboi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will give you your desktop back. I realize a Windows "reset" probably fixed the problem, but if it comes back... My work laptop gives me a black screen on every boot, so I'm no stranger to this procedure at all. There are no other side effects, and I have no clue what's causing it in the first place.
