Hello. I tried to install Zorin OS 18 Core. I downloaded the ISO file to a USB drive. I booted my computer from the USB and saw the screen with "Try" or "Install" options. I chose the first one. Zorin OS started, and there was a login screen. I selected "Live Session User," but then a black screen appeared on my monitor. I waited for 2–3 minutes, but it didn’t fix the problem, so I unplugged the computer and started my main operating system. How can I fix this black screen issue?

Welcome to the Forum!
A couple Questions:
- Did You checked the Checksum of the ISO?
- What Tool did You used to create the bootable USB Stick with Zotin on it?
- Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot on BIOS disabled?
- If Windows is still installed: Is Fast Start-Up in Windows disabled?
- Is Your BIOS in UEFI or Legacy Mode?

Here are Instructions:
Did You checked in the Ventoy Settings when You have created the USB Stick that it is set to GPT and not MBR?
Then, I would suggest to disabled them.
I had a lot of issues with black screen when installing 17.3 Pro in dual boot with Win 11.
This link from a post from @Forpli was what solved it for me.
One word of caution: while acpi=off worked to get me past this issue, it later caused a different problem with getting my ethernet card and sound card to work so @Aravisian had me use acpi=noirq instead
One other thought to add to your list. He may have RAID set in his BIOS from windows that needs to change to AHCI. I made the change in windows safe mode without any negative outcomes.
