Windows 10: Blank red screen with no ability open commands or applications. How do I fix this or what...

I tried getting into safe mode and that is still a blank red screen. I tried restoring to previous version and that failed. All things I have done have failed. Please help. Custom built gaming pc

Blank Red Screen

I kept my computer on since this morning, around 10:00am.

I opened a bunch of applications and kept a game on to put some stress on my system.

So far, there has been no red screen; and this is after I uninstalled Asus GPU Tweak and GPU-Z.

GPU Tweak may have been the problem. So far, no red screen. I will try furmark, again when I get home.

 

Change Screen Saver application will not open

So I wanted to install a new screen saver to add to the list of screen savers in the application and I clicked "Install" on a screen saver and then I tried to open up the Change Screen Saver application and now it won't open. Does anyone have a fix for this? Windows Version 21H1

 

FIX SCREEN SO IT DOESN'T GO BLANK

Hi Charlotte,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the computer screen goes blank after sometime, I’ll certainly assist you with this.



However, please let us know:

• Do you see any error message on the screen when the computer screen goes blank?
  
• When you say “I need to fix it so that doesn't happen” how are you fixing the screen?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

Meanwhile, you may want to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below:



If you are using a Desktop, then the first thing I would suggest you to do is check if the cables are connected properly.



Method 1: Refresh Graphics driver



I suggest you to try refreshing the graphics driver by using the key sequence
Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B and see if that helps.



Method 2: Update graphics driver



I suggest you to try updating the graphics card driver and see if that helps. To do this, refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Display adapters.
   
3. Right click on the display driver and select
   Update Driver.
   
4. Restart the computer.

Let us know how it goes.
