    [Help] Grey screen after turning on monitor + exiting fullscreen applications 5yz95r4XrkxUntqHR6yBb57PjDtfss1grd_yabj3QXs.jpg

    I keep getting this grey screen whenever I turn on my monitor after it's been off for some time, as well as when exiting fullscreen applications. The taskbar isn't covered by it and still works fine, and it goes away after clicking the show desktop button, so it's not a huge problem, Still, I was wondering if there was some way to fix this.

  2. Black Screen issue for Exclusive Fullscreen mode when exiting or Alt+Tab to Desktop

    Hi,

    Issues with exiting from a game in full-screen mode may occur due to several reasons. It is possible that your video card driver is not updated or not compatible with the current configuration of your PC. To properly isolate your concern, please provide
    us the following information:

    • Are you using a dual monitor display?
    • Does the issue occur when exiting the games from windowed mode?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far to resolve the issue?
    • Have you tried to update your video card drivers?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you install all the critical and important Windows Updates on your computer by following the steps on this

  3. Grey screen with cursor when connecting second monitor

    So my windows is booting and logging in fine. But as soon as I connect a second screen to my laptop (razerblade 15 2019) it works for a secons, a fullscreen black window appears which i can move around for like 3 seconds. Then both my laptop screen and external
    monitor tuen grey while I can still see and move the cursor. No keys work. No ctrl-alt-del oe nothing. Disconnecting the monitor does not help. The only thing I can do is force shutdown with the power button.

    The weirdest thing is sometimes it works for a while and then later all of a sudden it turns grey again. Sometimes turning my laptop to sleep or closing and opening the lid helps, but not always.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  4. [Help] Grey screen after turning on monitor + exiting fullscreen applications

    Second monitor gets grey tint

    So I recently bought a second monitor and I have a very annoying problem. Whenever I view something in fullscreen on my second monitor (an AOC 2250WG5) the whole monitor gets a grey tint. When I set the AOC monitor to be the primary monitor the issue is
    still there, but when I disconnect my main monitor (an LG monitor) the AOC monitor works normally and the grey tint is not there when viewing, for example, videos in fullscreen.

    The AOC monitor is connected with HDMI and the LG monitor is connected with DP. I tried to switch the two cables to see what would happen and the issue was even worse. Instead of a grey tint on the AOC monitor while in fullscreen everything just went black.
    And to get it to work again I had to reconnect the monitor.

    My GPU at the moment is a RTX 2070 SUPER.

    Would appreciate any help if there is any solution to this problem.
