Windows 10: Black screen after closing a game.

I dont know if this is a common occurrence, but anytime I close my game I get a black screen momentarily where I cant do anything. After like 3 seconds the screen comes back on but im wondering if there is a problem or this is normal. I have windows 10 Home. Does anyone have a solution to this.

Black Screen Closing Game


I've been playing the fps Warface (downloaded via Steam), after the latest cumulative update (KB3081438) whenever I close out the game it crashes to a black screen forcing a restart. I can play all day without issue until I close it. This has been an issue running Nvidia drivers 355.60, 353.62, 353.30 and Win 8.1 drivers 347.88 & 344.75. I haven't played or installed any other games since installing Win 10, so I don't know if it's an issue with all/other games or just Warface. Anyone have similar issues and/or a solution?
