About this tag
The tag 'power up' on WindowsForum.com covers issues that occur when a Windows computer is turned on or woken from sleep. Common problems include a black screen with a movable cursor, no boot sequence display before the login screen, and prompts to insert a boot disk instead of loading Windows normally. These issues affect various Windows versions, including Windows 7 and Windows 10, and can stem from updates, hardware configuration, or hibernation settings. Discussions focus on troubleshooting steps such as accessing BIOS blindly, dealing with missing boot devices, and resolving account-related problems after system upgrades.
