I have a Dell Vostro with a 8th gen i7 and a Geforce MX130 and ever since I installed Windows 11 insider build I have come across issues. One HUGE one being that when I try to turn on my PC to log into windows, the log in screen shows as just black. I press enter... nothing. I try CRL+ALT+DEL... nothing. Just a black screen with a cursor. Only the projection and accessibility settings work (proving that I am stuck on the log in screen), but those do not help. I had to reset my PC MUTIPLE times just to log in so I could at least backup. Not sure what is happening. I cannot even revert back to windows 10 (have to use USB). Please help.

I think I got a clue,I installed clean windows 11,I did not establish an internet connection and did not install windows update.I installed the drivers manually from the dell site, (I only downloaded the drivers for the video cards from their site, which is compatible with windows 11)The problem starts when I install the Intel Integrated Sensor Hub Driver for hardware ID pci/ven_8086&dev_9dfc&subsys_08a71028&rev_30.Most likely the problem will be fixed when the driver set is updated.Before I came to this conclusion, I had the same problem in the scenario where I installed the drivers directly via windows update (Intel Sensor Hub) with windows update turned on.

Thanks Ali_Aykut_Demir. You're spot on with an Intel Integrated Sensor Hub. I booted my Dell laptop to Safe Mode, disabled the Intel Integrated Sensor Solution and the black window with cursor problem is gone. Happy days!

DrTamizand others,I have a Dell Vostro 5581 which has similar specs to yours. It already had all the latest Dell drivers installed through Dell Update/SupportAssist including most importantly the June 2020 Intel Integrated Sensor Hub Driver which supports both Windows 10/11.I just installed Windows 11 as an upgrade over Windows 10 using a mounted ISO using the latest (as of 22 Nov 2021) released Win11_English_x64v1.iso file. I encountered the same problem as you. This is not a Windows Insider build - I am just posting my solution here as yours was the first post I found when searching for a solution, so hopefully others will find it too. Building on some of the suggestions in the replies above, I fixed the issue by :-Forcing the laptop into the recovery menu (pressing the power button to turn on, then immediately holding the power button until it turned off again multiple times over)Booted to Safe Mode.As the Start menu does not respond to the mouse/keyboard - Press Ctrl-Alt-Del and select Task Manager from the popupSelect File-Run new task and type devmgmt.msc - I cannot recall if the check box for [ ] Create this task with administrative privileges was available in safe mode but if it is there, check itExpand System DevicesScroll down and DISABLE "Intel Integrated Sensor Solution"RebootThe laptop should function normally now.(If you have done a clean install of Windows 11, you will now need to go to the Dell Support web site for your model and download the Intel Integrated Sensor Hub Driver and install it. )Open Device Manager againExpand System DevicesScroll down and UPDATE DRIVERS for "Intel Integrated Sensor Solution"Select -> Browse my computer for driversSelect -> Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computerThe list showed two drivers for "compatible hardware" with the currently selected one being the incompatible "Intel(R) Integrated Sensor Solution"Select the "Intel(R) Integrated Sensor Hub - 9DFC" driver (yours may have a different alphanumeric extension)Apply the changeRebootAll should be functioning normally with the Sensor Hub no longer disabled in the Device Manager.The root of the issue seems to be that the installation is picking an incompatible generic driver for the Sensor Hub in preference to the Dell specific one, even when both are available on the system.Hopefully that helps.

The Intel Integrated Sensor Hub driver is the issue. Many have suggsted to go into safe mode and disable the device, however I was unable to log in.My solution was to boot into recovery with command promt and use the dism tool to remove the driver.The steps are as follows (as I remember them):1: Boot into safemode with command prompt2: Check where your c:\ is mounted up. (run diskpart, notepad or whatever) - mine was c:, so thats why I'm using it as an exsample below. Yours may be a different drive letter3: Run the command: dism /image:c:\ /get-driver > c:\get-driver.txtI'm writing it to a file since it was too long for the command prompt history.4: Open the file with notepad5: Search for ISH.inf - check what it is renamed to. In my case it was oem7.inf6: Run the command: dism /image:c:\ /remove-driver /driver:oem7.infExit and reboot.

these solutions are all temporary,I will wait until microsoft and dell release a new driver.I tried installing another manufacturer's driver, same result.The interesting thing is that there is a model among the systems whose windows 11 compatibility has been tested on the dell site. Compatibility list was created only according to windows 11 tpm and processor support.There are posts on many platforms on the subject, but there is no information from either the manufacturer or microsoft.

  I think I got a clue,
  I installed clean windows 11,
  I did not establish an internet connection and did not install windows update.
  I installed the drivers manually from the dell site, (I only downloaded the drivers for the video cards from their site, which is compatible with windows 11)
  The problem starts when I install the Intel Integrated Sensor Hub Driver for hardware ID pci/ven_8086&dev_9dfc&subsys_08a71028&rev_30.
  Most likely the problem will be fixed when the driver set is updated.

Hello everyone. Update on this problem: so I fixed it first by resetting my pc (keeping all files) TWICE. Then after a few successful boots, another update broke it again. To be safe, I booted into Safe Mode and did a backup. Finally, I reset PC again, booted into windows, uninstalled update, uninstalled some graphics driver, and downloaded then directly from NVIDIA website. I think it was a display problem, some compatibility issues maybe? Let me know how it went for y'all.
