Most info in web propose to shwitch into windows [Safe Mode] but:
1. normal start -> black screen -> ping response
2. safe mode -> black screen
3. debug mode -> black screen
4. boot logging -> black screen
5. recovery mode works
harddisk connected to another win VM, in *.evt files found nothing
Where should I serch more info?
In vmware.log i didn't find errors in moment when black screen is show, except that last info is "Taking screenshot"
Few peoples think that problem is combination of vmware tools and windows update.
What else can I check?
for this issue you need to look into windows logs. It is OS booting issue. you might need to open a case with Microsoft vendor.

Finally found and solve problem.
Service NlaSvc had wrong value of start type (Automatic, Manual, etc)
HKLM\[loaded hive]\ControlSet001\Services\NlaSvc
Start value should be 2. I had value 1 deployed by GPO.
There must be some difference between Win Server 2012 and 2019.
Finally. Problem was on M$ side not VMware 🙂
Hi ,
Bro , cannot find the registry path using Hiren CD or any other registry editor before windows ...
same as you , it's black even in Safe mode and already checked other way of booting windows but still the issue is on.
Can you help about the path ?
