Black screen after login in Windows 10 VM

Hi,

I get a black screen after login on my Windows 10 VM now. I enter password on the login screen, and then it's only black. I can open task manager with Ctrl + shift + ESC, and I see explorer.exe is running fine. I also tried to end explorer.exe, and then start it again from task manager but it did not help. I've tried to reboot and shut down the VM multiple times.

Any ideas what I can try next?

What makes you think this has something to do with you running Windows in a VM, rather than just a general Windows issue?

@scott28tt Yeah true, it's probably not VM related.
