  1. Black screen when opening / closing certain fullscreen apps


    I recently got a new monitor, and whenever I open or tab out of certain fullscreen apps, the screen goes black for a few seconds.It doesn't happen to every app in fullscreen. For example, when opening / closing minecraft, the screen does go black, but when I open a modded minecraft instance through an IDE, the screen doesn't go black when opening / closing minecraft.The only way I've found to stop the black screen is setting my monitor to 60Hz, which I'm not going to do as one of the reasons I bought it is for its higher refresh rate.

  2. Blank screen in fullscreen apps

    I opened IE, watched a video in fullscreen on YouTube but after a few videos, a black screen appeared in fullscreen with a green square on it and when I switched app to a game, (in fullscreen) the screen went black but I heard sounds. When I pressed power
    and vol-up buttons to take a screenshot, it blinked with the real image and saving screenshot text, but went black again. I could switch apps, but when the app was opened it went black.

    What has happened? I have almost no memory remaining on my SD card or phone internal memory.

    Is there anyway to open fullscreen windows by default?


    Right click the application shortcut, select Properties. Select the Shortcut tab and choose how you want to open the application:

    • Normal window = Opens the application window in same size it was when last time closed, full screen only if the application was last closed when full screen
    • Minimized = Opens the application but minimizes it to taskbar without showing the application window on desktop
    • Maximized = Opens the application window always maximized, regardless if it was windowed or full screen when last time closed

    Fullscreen (Black Screen

    Could it be registry? Because all it is is that I can't go in fullscreen on anything without black screen
