RESOLVED (4/7, 11:00AM) – The issue from yesterday, which caused some Pace computers to show a black screen and prevent login access has been resolved. IT staff worked with affected end-users who reported this issue to get their computers back online and have been monitoring the issue since then, with no additional reports.
In case anyone is still experiencing this issue, please follow the steps below:
- Connect the computer/laptop to a wired Ethernet connection while powered on.
- Re-start the computer/laptop and log in; then wait 2 minutes for the network policy to update on the device.
- Perform a second restart on the computer/laptop and the issue should be resolved.
Note: The wired connection is preferred because it is enabled during the initial startup phase, whereas a wireless adapter cannot connect until later in the process.
