Well for a Dell Vostro 5581 - the issue occurred when it was upgraded to Windows 11 (22H2) and even though I disabled Intel Integrated Sensor Solution it was re-enabled when Windows 11 upgraded again to 24H2.
Solved by downgrading BIOS/UEFI to 2.15.1 (kept Intel Integrated Sensor Solution enabled).
I posted about it in this thread over at the Dell forums: https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/vostro/w11-on-vostro-5581-25gfk-black-screen-with-mouse-cursor-2023-edition/64f9cc2a0571bd0cd6406ed6?commentId=68ed43a26f463023aade4a44
Might be worth trying something similar for other Dell Vostro laptops experiencing the same issue.
