  1. Windows update causing third of screen turns black in portrait mode.


    I have a Windows 10 machine where, when I launch a game, the bottom third of the screen turns black. (See below.)


    This is due to a Windows update that came out a couple years ago. The machine display is in "Portrait (Flipped)" mode. I avoided the problem by never letting it do the updates (I would revert it to the previous version every time), but for security reasons - I want Windows 10 to be able to update, but that means I have to solve this problem. I then took another Windows 10 machine with all of the updates and made that the "Portrait" game machine - but it happens on there, too. So, I need to get this bug in Windows 10 resolved.


    Can you tell me how to get it to stop causes the bottom third of the screen from going black when I start a game? Alternatively, let me know how to install the original version of Windows 10 that does not have this problem. Thank you!

  2. Black Screen During Driver Update Windows update causing third of screen turns black in portrait mode. :(

    I reinstalled my laptop back to factory settings, and I wanted to update the GPU drivers. But when I try, the screen turns black during the update, but the computer is still running. I was forced to turn off the computer and turn it back on. I used system restore, so now I'm using the default drivers that came with the laptop. Can you guys suggest anything?

    Screen goes black

    Hi Kris,

    It is possible that your screen goes black may be due to a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down. To isolate your issue, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Did you get any error messages when it turns black?
    • Have you tried checking if the sleep mode is turned on/off?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Meanwhile, we recommend that you perform the steps in this
    article
    to troubleshoot blank/black screen errors. This will provide you instruction when you see a black screen before signing in to Windows 10 and when you see a black or blank screen after signing in to Windows 10.
