    So I have been having trouble with some apps like Zoom when shared screen is activated or Toon Boom Harmony, my screen randomly stops, then goes black for a second or two with a loading cursor and sound still on, then it comes back and sometimes the apps stop responding and I have to close them and open them again until it happens again, sometimes it happens often sometimes it doesnt, how do I know what is the problem? A faulty update? App? Is it the laptop itself? How do I check and fix this?

    :)

    how to i stop my windows 10 screen to stop going black?

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the computer screen goes black randomly. I'll certainly assist you with this.



    However, please let us know:



    • When exactly does the screen goes black?
    • When you say “my start-up my computer sleed-time”, does the computer take time to boot?
    • Are you aware of any changes made to the computer?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?


    If you are using a Desktop, I would suggest you to make sure that the cables are secured properly from both the ends. You may want to try swapping the cables and check.



    However, you may want to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article
    Troubleshoot black screen or blank screen errors
    and see if that helps.



    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    Screen goes black if the power cord is connected

    Hi Tony,

    As the screen goes black I suggest you to refer the Microsoft article on
    Troubleshoot black screen problems and check if it helps.

    Troubleshoot black screen or blank screen errors

    I also see that you are facing issues with the keyboard this might be due to the corruption of keyboard drivers. I suggest you to run the
    hardware and devices troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps for the same.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter. Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select Control panel.
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Hope this information is helpful. Please get back to us with the information required, if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
