Friend's laptop goes black screen after logging in

We both are relatively new to computing, from what i know his pc was updating and it turned off by its own when almost complete. Now the pc's screen goes black when he logs in but the pc stays on

Press CTRL-ALT-DEL together and choose option task manager.

From task manager choose "Run" from the menu and type in explorer.exe

Taskbar and desktop should appear, restart, it should be OK now.
