    General screen display issue


    I have an ASUS laptop, nvidia with Windows 10. Last night, all of the sudden something changed about my screen. I may have hit a keyboard shortcut around the bottom left area but I'm not sure. It's difficult to describe precisely what the issue is, so I'll give an example to illustrate:

    In google chrome, you can typically make out which tab is open from looking at the top, because the open tab is more enhanced. For some reason, I can barely make out which tab is open. It's only slightly more visible.

    To be clear, this isn't a chrome problem, something changed everywhere, and this is just one illustration.

    Also, this isn't about the windows nightlight or windows brightness the problem persists independent of brightness.

    Moreover, If I connect my laptop to an external monitor, there is no issue on the monitor, and if I take a screen shot using snipping tool and send it to myself on whatsapp, then the issue is not apparent in the screenshot when viewing it on my phone or any other device.

  2. Issue with black screen, dual display, ATI Integrated GPU

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to go to device manager and disable the display drivers, check whether the issue persists or not.

    • Press Windows + X keys and click
      Device manager.
    • Click to expand Display adapters, right click the second adapter and click
      Disable.
    • Restart the computer and check whether the issue persists or not.
    • Repeat the same steps to disable the first display adapter and check if it helps.

    If you find the issue is with anyone of the display adapters then, I suggest you to update the display drivers from the manufactures website for Windows 10 and check if it helps.

    Method 2: I suggest you to follow the steps form the below article for
    “Black Screen” issues and check if it helps.
