After putting windows 10 into sleep mode and waking it up, I get a black screen with my cursor on it. Any Idea?:??: Thanks!

what happens if you restart PC?

if same thing happens at start up, try this
On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB
boot from installer, on 2nd screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up options
hit the restart button
choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
Pc will restart and load safe mode
you don't have to do anything in here, if it loads fine, just restart pc and see if it fixed it.

It only happens when I wake it up out of sleep mode.
