You're facing a frustrating issue with Windows 8.1. The system boots but doesn't respond properly, showing only a black screen and allowing access to Task Manager, yet Explorer remains unresponsive. This can happen due to various reasons like corrupted drivers, missing updates, or hardware issues. Consider checking your display settings, running a system file check, or trying a clean installation if possible. If the problem persists, sharing more details about your hardware or recent changes would help.

Open eventvwr.msc and check the application or system logs for any noticeable issues related to the problem.

Is your system using an HDD? My aunt's Japanese computer switched to an SSD, and the issue disappeared afterward.

Need to check the viewer but no clear highlights appear.

Do you know if StartIsBack is available? I used an older version after Windows updates and rebooted, but the screen stayed black. I removed it and Explorer worked right away.

I don't have a start-up issue and I possess a solid drive.

You've checked the SFC command from CMD and used Task Manager to open explorer.exe. It appears the process appears and vanishes without issues.
