Windows 10: Screen flashing black while playing videos directly after latest windows update

So I updated windows yesterday, took a while so I guess it hadn't updated in a while. Directly after, my monitor is randomly flashing black or turning completely black whenever I'm trying to watch any kind of videos on any website ( netflix, youtube, dailymotion, facebook.. ).


It's extremely annoying. It never does it unless there's videos involved.


Any way to fix this ?
