    Fullscreen games go black screen on any physical inputs.


    Hello all,


    I keep having a problem when I am playing my fullscreen games. When I load up a game and go into fullscreen it will go black. The game will appear if I do not make any input like moving the mouse, pressing keys, etc. But if I do any of these things while in a fullscreen game my game will go black for as long as I make any input. This issue seems like it happens at random, and is almost always fixed by restarting my computer. The problem is I have to restart my computer multiple times a day to fix the issue. Please help!


    Thanks

    :)

    Black screen when playing games on fullscreen.

    Hi Syrius,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    To have clarity on this issue and guide you accordingly, kindly help us with the following information.



    • Is the issue specific to a game or does it occur on all the games?
    • Is the issue specific to only games or does it occur while playing full screen videos?


    If the issue occurs while playing videos in full screen, you may want to uninstall and reinstall the video card drivers to see if it helps.



    • Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
      Device manager.
    • Expand Display Adapters, right click on your video card driver and choose
      Uninstall.
    • Check the box Delete the driver software for this device.
    • Reboot the machine for Windows to automatically reinstall the drivers.


    If the issue is specific to games, it could be a compatibility issue. I suggest you to refer to the article
    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows and run the games
    in compatibility mode to see if it helps.



    If the issue persists, it could be due to the full screen optimization. As you’ve already updated the drivers, I would suggest you to disable the same and check if it works.



    • Open Settings and go to System > Display.
    • On the right pane, click on the Advanced graphics settings
      hyperlink.
    • Uncheck Enable fullscreen optimizations
      and exit Settings.
    • Restart the machine and see if the issue persists.


    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Fullscreen games go black screen on any physical inputs.

    Black screen when in fullscreen, in every game

    When I run any game in fullscreen the screen turns black after a few seconds at most. If I tab out of the game and back in, it works again for a few seconds before it turns black again.

    System:

    Windows 10 64 bit (no creator's update yet, version 1607)

    i5 2500k

    Nvidia GTX 1070

    I already tried reinstalling drivers completely. It doesn't happen in Windows safe mode. Games work fine in windowed or windowed borderless mode.

    Any idea how I can maybe get a better idea what is and isn't causing this? I tried different resolutions and refresh rates (my monitor's refresh rate is 60, I tried lowering it to 59), but it's the same.
