You're experiencing issues where everything works normally until you reach the Windows login screen. The BIOS and Windows repair tools appear but don't resolve the problem. Restarting didn't help, and booting into safe mode also failed. Some shortcuts like the project panel and accessibility features work, though the cursor is invisible. You mentioned a similar issue before and fixed it by connecting a monitor, but this time it didn't work. Have you tried any other solutions or checked if the display is functioning correctly?
The phrase refers to starting a system from a hard drive, not a boot method. You usually boot from a USB or CD, not directly from the hard drive itself. Ask about other boot sources if you need clarification.
I own both an SSD and a hard drive, and both come with Windows.
It appears the issue is related to the GPU driver. I thought it functioned during startup, but there seems to be a method to bypass basic video drivers—though I can’t recall the steps. Safe mode seems involved, and the BIOS uses standard video drivers that work properly. The more complex ones are likely the problem, suggesting the driver itself might be faulty.
I attempted to start in safe mode, but the issue remains unchanged. It seems the problem might have arisen from closing the lid during hibernation, disrupting the process. This isn’t an inexpensive laptop, and I was taken aback when this occurred.
If this applies, a restart might resolve the issue. I suspect it hasn't been attempted yet despite previous attempts. Choose to restart or [option]+shutdown. It's possible I'm missing the right key. The one that triggers a complete shutdown rather than saving the system state.
