Windows 10: Windows 11: Black screen for ~2 seconds each time I receive a notification

Every time I receive a notification e.g., new Slack message, new Outlook email, my screen goes black, then goes back on after ~2 seconds.Also, when an app has a modal dialog open, and I click outside the dialog, the dialog flashes to indicate it is modal.Also, when the UAC system modal dialog is displayed.This behavior started with the 24H2 update which I installed two days ago.It goes without saying that this is extremely annoying and disrupts my work.What I tried so far:* I have rebooted multiple times.* I have made sure I have the latest Windows updates.* I have made sure the latest dri

Black screen on windows 11

Hi I have a similar issue. I have a surface pro 8, windows 11. The screen is black for a long time before login.

Normally:

• Turn on computer
  
• Screen with clock and scenic background
  
• Swipe screen up
  
• Camera turns on
  
• Face recognition
  
• Logs in
  

Now (since Nov 19):

• Turn on computer
  
• Black Screen with clock
  
• Swipe screen up
  
• Black Screen for 30 - 90 seconds, can see and move mouse cursor
  
• Camera might turn on and logs in or screen times out due to no activity
  
• Turn screen off//on by pressing the power button
  
• Camera might turn on or screen times out due to no activity
  
• at some point it logs in
  

This happens 100% on shutdown then power on. It happens a lot, but not always on restarts.

I have tried:

• turning it on and off
  
• rolling back updates
  
• factory reset from device
  
• factory reset from internet
  
• factory reset then installing all the updates
  
• factory reset then pause updates then uninstall updates
  

Anyone have any insights?

Thanks

 

Receives black screen on Windows 10.

Hi,

As per the description, I understand that you receive black screen error. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to refer to the article provided below and check if that helps to resolve the issue.

Troubleshooting black or blank screens in Windows - Microsoft Support

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the display driver and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device
Manager”.

2. In the list of devices, you should see the Display Drivers.

3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan
for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
