    Update KB4598242 has caused some pretty severe black-screen issues for me


    It would be very difficult to describe, so instead of trying to I have a short video demonstrating it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uKxu3LTmkrVxsoA7A


    It is not just those two applications, it's almost everything that uses any kind of GPU acceleration as far as I can tell. It's been doing it in most games, it was even doing it in Discord if I tried to fullscreen a video or stream before I updated my drivers, which I hoped would solve the issue but only solved it in Discord strangely enough.


    Is there a way I can rollback updates to test?

    :)
