Hello guys.
I recently got this weird response from my lenovo thinkpad l440. I updated the gpu drivers and after the restart I got a black screen right after the windows 10 logo.
If I connect a monitor to the laptop it works just fine (if I put the laptop to sleep by pressing the power button once and then start it up again). It also works fine with the microsoft basic drivers.
I tried reformating and hard reseting the laptop, still not working with the updated drivers.
What could the problem be?
