Nothing on startup?

Okay this might not seem like an issue to some, but recently after adding and removing an admin account to my PC I have noticed that I do not encounter any of the usual fluff that shows up when booting up my PC.
It's just a black screen until the log in screen. To most this may not seem like an issue but it's a phenomenon that has occurred after adding and removing the hidden administrative account through control panel. So it has me worried that i may have broken something.

Hello Goofballs, and welcome to Eight Forums.

You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point (if available) dated before this started may be able to help.

Hope this helps, :)

Well this is going to blow your mind (it blew mine) but i actually did do a system restore and it fixed part of the problem i was having. I attempted to delete the thread afterwards but found that it can't be done. So i edited it cutting out a part of the problem and just mentioning the minor issue of not having my typical start up.
I didn't initially use a system restore because it never damn well worked on windows XP. But hey, technology changes right.
Anyway what i was saying with the start up is usually you might have the make of your computer or what not displayed before launching into windows. This is also where it presents you with the shortcuts for BIOS and stuff. But that's gone now. It probably doesn't matter but it's unusual.
And while I'm at it is there a way to set my account to having the hidden admin accounts authority without activating said account as doing as such offered me so much strife?

Oh and thanks for the help.

Yeah, we prefer to not delete or edit out a post so that it could be helpful to someone else with the same issue. :)


You could see if resetting your BIOS/UEFI back to default may help with nothing displaying during boot.

You could use the tutorial to make your unelevated administrator account to be an elevated account just like the built-in "Administrator" account if you like. However, the Store and all Store (Metro) apps do not work while signed in to an elevated account. If you plan on using them, then I would recommend to not do this, and leave your account as a normal unelevated administrator account.

Okay, keep threads up for the benefit of others. Makes sense.

So it's create an admin account or stuff up my metro eh? Not the greatest selection of choices. As far as I can tell however is the only software that requires the admin account is older and outdated. So I could possibly avoid the problem entirely.

Touching the BIOS ugh that's worrying, If i mess that up (and I probably will) chances are I'll ruin everything. This is what happens when people like me decide they know what they're doing and try meddling with command prompt.


By the way you have been a great help and I appreciate it.:thumb::thumb:
