  1. Black screen when launching fullscreen applications after returning from sleep mode.


    I seem to be having an issue that no one else is having according to my extensive research. Every time my computer goes to sleep after idling for 2 hours, every time I launch a fullscreen application after returning from this state, the screen goes black. The only way to fix this is to unplug the display port cable and plug it back in, or alt+f4 to close the program and restart the entire computer. This seems to only happen with programs that go fullscreen, as windowed applications don't have this issue. As you can tell, this is very inconvenient and I'm having trouble finding a fix. Yes, my machine is up-to-date before you ask.

    Screen goes black when fullscreen windows 8.1

    Since 3 weeks ago my laptop's screen goes black when I try to maximize (fullscreen) any file (folders , movies , browsers , ...) but the laptop works properly when the screen gets black But it's okay when every file is windowed. After going black I minimize
    that window (which is fullscreen) and use the key "fn+f7" two times and the screen returns. Sometimes after working for some hours this problem fixes and I can fullscreen the files but after putting my laptop to sleep mode and then turning it on the problem
    returns.

    I'm using asus laptop n550jk model and windoes 8.1 with all the drivers updated to the their latest versions.

    Also my battery hasn't fully charged since 4 months ago and its light is flashing and its percentage is stuck at 80%.

    I have also tried some anti viruses but nothing helped me.

    How can I fix this problem?

    Is my battery cuasing this problem or this is hardware issue?

    Black screen when launching fullscreen applications after returning from sleep mode.

    Black screen after sleep mode

    Hello.

    I updated windows last Saturday 19th September 2020 and after leaving it in sleep mode it doesn't work anymore. The computer is running, but the screen is black. I have already tried to press ctrl+shift+windows+B, but it doesn't work. When I force it to
    shut down by pressing the power button and something weird happens: if I'm not charging the laptop, it shuts down but as soon as I turn it on again, it only shows the black screen and the computer is on; if being off I start charging it, it automatically turns
    on with the black screen. It seems that if it is charching I'm unable to force it to shut down. I have also tried to run it with another os in an USB stick and still it doesn't work.

    I have read that this is due to the las update in September. In some places it is suggested to use ctrl+shift+windows+B, but it doesn't work for me. They also suggest changing some settings in the computer, but I am not able to even access any settings because
    the laptop is still in the "running mode" with black screen.

    Is there any solution for this? Any suggestions?

    Thank you.
