Windows 10: Black screen from full screen on YouTube after Windows 1909 update.

Has anyone else had these issues? Whenever I'm watching a YouTube video and I make it full screen, the ENTIRE screen goes black for a second or two. Even when I minimize it. It happened on the last update, but I reverted back within the same hour because I wasn't trying to deal with it. But to download Xbox (Beta), I needed 1909, so here we are. Anyone been through this? Or am I completely looking over something obvious.?

Windows 7 black screen of death

I read a report a little while ago that said the black screens were nothing to do with updates but due to a malicious program (it hit more than just windows 7 users - vista, xp and 2000 were also prone to the black startup screen of death if infected). My windows 7 install is fully up-to-date and i've never had the black startup screen.

Just run some decent anti virus and you should be safe (i suggest microsoft security essentails since it's free and pretty decent). When you've installed an anti-virus i'd suggest doing a full scen to be sure there's nothing there.

 

Youtube black screens.

Well something interesting has happened, yesterday watching youtube videos was no problems, yet today when I try to watch a video, any video it shows as a black screen and the audio works.

After a little google search, I found that watching a video on the issue allowed me to see it, weird I thought as previously no video worked. I then click a random video on the suggested list and that too works.

I then type a search in youtube and bam! black screen again.

After a little more help from google, I found that disabling adblock plus allowed me to watch videos with no problems again + if I disable then re-enable all videos would work, although for a limited time, as after a few minutes when I switched to a new video it started again.

Edit: If I logged out of my youtube account, there would be no more black screens on videos, although there would also be ads...

My fix was this: I uninstalled adblock plus and instaled ublock origin, seems to have done the trick.

My question is what was the cause for this?

Also previously adblock would not block all ads on some sites, like techpowerup for example, ublock origin also fails to do this, although adblock managed to do this when I first installed. I know the fix for my add problems is a uninstall with iobit uninstaller and then reinstall, a simple reinstall does not work and I won't bother installing iobit just for this site. (ublock origin allows me to select bothering things and block them manually)

Edit: Also when I noticed adblock was not blocking all ads, google suggested to disable allow non-intrusive ads, I did that and it worked, I didn't give it further thought and the next day when I connect, ads were still shown on the site. Enabling-disabling the option after this had no further effects on the problem, as neither did a normal uninstall-reinstall of firefox.

My addons for firefox were: Adblock plus, adblock popup addon and disconnect.
They now are: Ublock origin, adblock popup addon and disconnect.

I also use bitdefender free edition for antivirus and malwarebytes anti malware for on-demand scanning.
Scanning with both revealed no suspicious or infected files.

This thread is more like what are your thoughts on this?
