Windows 10: Windows 10 background randomly turns black

For about a month now, desktop background on my Windows 10 has been randomly turning black. I have no clue what why this happens and figured out that User Account Control window and enabling/disabling desktop icons I use this quite often almost always turn my background black. The background turns black randomly when I do absolutely nothing on my PC, sometimes when I'm changing settings and very rarely when I open any video game.I'm able to get my background back easily by restarting explorer.exe in Task Manager, but I'd like a permanent solution.I've had my current background for about 6 mo

Laptop display randomly turns black

My dell laptop display randomly turns black. Sometimes it goes for some time with no problem than it starts turning black every minute or so until it starts “blinking” and at last it’s black most of the time.
While it’s black I can still type and it will react to my input in the background.
The OS is windows 10. I reinstalled display drivers (downloaded newest drivers) and ran some hardware tests on startup.
Any ideas how to fix this.

Thank you!
