Ub204 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I need some help, my pc has bigbox shell enable, upon booting today i have a black screen. I posted this on April 25, when i had the same issue. "I am not sure if this is the same issue I'm having, but I started up my gaming PC yesterday with Bigbox set as the default shell and it boots to a black screen. No sound, I can see my cursor when I move the touchpad on my keyboard. None of my keyboard inputs, like Ctrl, Shift, Esc to bring up the taskmanager seem to work except Windows + P which brings up the project to screen window. Does anyone know how i can startup explorer.exe and undo the changes Bigbox made to the default shell? " In April, I ended up reinstalling the operating system; my games are on a separate drive. After that incident, I created a restore disk in case this happened again. Well it happened again. I don't want to do a restore. I would like to find a fix. C-Beats tried to help but we're both stumped. Here's what I've tried so far: "I was able to mount the os drive from another computer and I loaded the registry hive from there and changed the shell from Drive letter:\Launchbox\Core\Bigbox.exe to explorer.exe from here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell but the shell is still not loading, black screen is still there. Can still see mouse pointer everything else mentioned above." Windows+R open run? Ctrl+Alt+Delete menu None of these work "I just tried to boot in safe mode. Still loaded a black screen. Tried safe mode, safe mode with networking, and Safe mode with command prompt, nothing comes up. I booted into windows recovery and loaded the registry hive for my account and set it to explorer.exe and rebooted and still got a black screen. I rebooted back into recovery and checked the registry hive again and it still says explorer.exe. so I'm not sure what's happening at this point. I've attached a few screenshots. One with the black screen only showing the presentation button working. Another with the bigbox reg key and the change to explorer.exe" Also of note, I'm using windows 10 enterprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
