Blank screen after logging into Win 2016 Essentials server
If it is still functional the safest and best thing you can do at this point is to stand up a new one for replacement ASAP.
Dave Patrick Thanks for the advice.
I've rebooted in safe mode and the problem is still there so I'm now running check disk to see if that can tell me anything.
Looking at your response, are you suggesting this is hardware related? I have been thinking along the lines of running a recovery but it seems like such a drastic step and while it's still operational would prefer to troubleshoot and find out what is wrong, if possible.

No, not really, just that it is broken and in a very fragile state. The best course is to stand up a new one for replacement ASAP. Things like chkdsk, or repair install may just as easily tip it over the edge and gone as fix anything.
- OK, I see what you are saying, thank you.
I have backups so am reasonably comfortable in the event things do get worse and will go that route if required.
Will update once things are sorted.
