@Devang1211, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're experiencing a black screen with a visible and movable cursor after a recent update on your HP laptop. This is a known issue that can occur due to display driver conflicts or system file corruption during updates. Let's walk through some steps to resolve this:
Perform a Hard Reset
- Power off the laptop completely.
- Disconnect all external devices (USBs, printers, etc.).
- Unplug the power adapter.
- Press and hold the Power button for 15 seconds.
- Reconnect the power adapter and turn on the laptop.
Boot into Safe Mode
Since the screen is black but the cursor is visible, try booting into Safe Mode:
- Hold the Power button to force shutdown.
- Turn it back on and immediately press F11 repeatedly to enter Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).
- Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
- After restart, press F4 to boot into Safe Mode.
Roll Back or Reinstall Display Drivers
Once in Safe Mode:
- Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
- Expand Display adapters.
- Right-click your display driver (e.g., Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA) and choose Uninstall device.
- Check the box for Delete the driver software for this device, then click Uninstall.
- Restart your laptop normally.
Windows will reinstall the default driver automatically. If the issue is resolved, you can later update the driver from the HP website.Official HP® Support
Run System File Checker
If the issue persists:
- Boot into Safe Mode again.
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
- Type the following and press Enter:sfc /scannow
- Let the scan complete and follow any on-screen instructions.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
