Client Dell Latitude Laptop E5570 boots past the Dell logo (bios logo) and gets a black screen and can see nothing. The computer responds to a remote support software. I see nothing but I can run commands via command line (cmd) and get a response.

  • -start the command line interface.
  • -type: sc config "appreadiness" start= disabled
  • -type: shutdown -r -t 3

This will disable the appreadiness service and restart the computer. The computer should boot to the login screen without difficulty.

If I didn't have the command line interface and simply has a laptop at home, I would try to get into safe-mode and then run the commands there:

  • -click start > run
  • -type: cmd
  • -click OK
  • -type: sc config "appreadiness" start= disabled
  • -type: shutdown -r -t 3
