  1. Screen goes black randomly for a second. How do I stop it?


    A few days ago, I noticed while browsing the internet, the screen would go black suddenly then would return to normal, like nothing happened. I thought it was a one-time thing until it happened yesterday as well and even today. I tried different things but it didn't seem to stop it from happening. Is there a certain driver I need to update? If anyone could give me some suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.P.S. I'm sorry if I selected the wrong topic. I wasn't sure which one this situation fits in.

    :)

  2. Windows Search on Taskbar goes full-screen randomly

    I'm running Windows 10 Pro (x64) v. 2004 build 19041.572

    This problem only occurred after the latest feature update... ergo updating to 2004 release.

    The problem is still very random and eventually fixes itself (supposedly) but the steps to reproduce are not identifiable at this time. It seems all the more likely to happen during a fresh session (i.e post-reboot, cold boot). It always happens at least once per session until it stops.

    The problem itself is that the actual search "box" (rectangle?) or container actually grows tall enough to reach the top of my screen and also blacks out the rest of my screen... so all I see is the search box and the suggestions. This only happens when you actually try to search for something so it's not randomly activating itself but the buggy appearance does occur randomly when making the search active... if that makes sense.

    Anyone run into this kinda issue yet? See below for screenshot. Yes, that is my full screen 1980 x 1020

    EDIT:
    if I do not post back soon enough... it's probably due to cloudfare not agreeing with my VPN as of late, it's been refusing my traffic solely due to my IP....

  3. Computer freezes randomly, screen goes black for a few seconds.

    As described in the title, sometimes my computer randomly starts to freeze (except the sound, only the screen/cursor freezes), the after half a second the screen goes black for a few seconds, then my desktop appears and the windows begin poping up on my screen again. During this issue, nightlight gets deactivated until I turn it off and on again. This used to happen once a week, and has been going on for two months now, but now it's starting to get more and more frequent.

    The screen turn-on-turn-off thing doesn't seem like what happens when pressing Windows+Ctrl+Shift+B. This command does a beep and does not deactivate night light.

  4. Screen goes black randomly for a second. How do I stop it?

    Screen goes black for one or two seconds then comes back.

    The monitor screen goes black for one to three seconds then comes back. This happens randomly, about every one to five minutes.
    I've tried a restore point = no help. I reset the whole computer, reinstalling Windows 10 from the computer (not the cloud option).
    This slowed down the black-outs, but they are still happening as noted above.
    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Thank You, Tom
