    I am having the same difficulty with a few programs so far, namely:- Minecraft Java- PNGTuber Plus- PNGTuber Remix- DaVinci ResolveAll of these will open to a completely black screen, weirdly enough all interactable elements are present, I can click buttons and adjust sliders but I can't see them. I have reinstalled each several times and attempted running as admin and compatibility modes.My graphics drivers are up to date, I am running Windows 10 Home 64-bit.

  2. Screen goes black when opening certain programs

    Hi, this issue started recently. No software or hardware changes were made around the time.

    I have 3 monitors, and whenever I open certain programs, one of the side monitors will go black.

    I have ruled out loose connectors, and other hardware issues, as it's usually the monior the program is on that goes black.

    For instance if I open spotify on my left monitor, it will go black, and my monitor says that it has no input.

    As soon as I click on another window, or my desktop, the screen turns back on.

    I was wondering if anyone have had similar issues, and/or have a solution to my problem.

    Numerous Black circles with a white edge keep appearing on my screen and the mouse keeps opening programs on it's own

    We appreciate the information you have provided. The black circles represent areas on your touch screen that are being touched. It seems that your device is detecting unnecessary contact on those areas. It may have something to do with the hardware itself.
    These unnecessary contacts may possibly the same reason why programs are opening on it's own. To further isolate the issue, we suggest that you disable the touch screen feature of your device and see if the black circles disappear. Kindly refer to the steps
    below:

    • Go to Device Manager.
    • Click on Human Interface Devices to expand.
    • Right click on HID-compliant touch screen and select
      Disable
      .

    We'll be waiting for your response.
