  1. Black screen on 2 monitors when alt+tab or windows key


    I have been having an issue where if I have 2 monitors connected to my gpu if I alt tab or press the windows key on a full screen game, both screens go black for a few seconds.

  2. When Alt-Tab on my main monitor it messes up?

    When I Alt-Tab on my main 1440p 32in monitor my 2 side 1080p 27in monitors get their applications dragged to the middle and then the game tab backs into itself. Also when trying too Alt-Tab on games it won't let me get out of a black screen unless I restart my computer. This only started happening when I added my 1440p monitor to the mix it tries to make my other 2 monitors resolution change also when Alt-Tabbing and sometimes breaks the monitor into a black screen.

    CTRL ALT DEL Black Screen

    Hi Dan,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Have you installed all pending updates?
    • Are you able to log into Desktop?
    • Is the issue specific to Ctrl + Alt + Del screen?

    Black screen error can occur if the computer is not up to date with all Drivers and Windows updates. Install all pending updates and check if that helps.
