screen hang
About this tag
The screen hang tag on WindowsForum.com covers issues where the display freezes, turns black, or becomes unresponsive, often during or after login. Common symptoms include a black screen with desktop icons reappearing when moving the mouse, slow loading at the welcome or preparing desktop screen, and error messages such as 'The User Profile Service failed the logon, user profile cannot be loaded.' These problems can prevent normal login and may require restarting the system. Discussions focus on troubleshooting steps for Windows users experiencing screen hangs, particularly when they occur alongside profile loading failures.
