  This morning I've been trying a few things trying to remedy this issue.

  Searching online "Black screen in Apps".  There isn't much there.  But, I have found something.

  This is what I've found :-

  Sometimes, you may see a black screen as a result of Windows 10 losing its connection with the display. You can use the Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B keyboard shortcut to restart the video driver and refresh the link to the monitor.

  I've tried this in full screen mode and it doesn't work.  Windowed mode did work.  When i say did work, the time I tried it in winter (just) it worked.  But, I suspect it's intermittent.  When I'm on again I'll give it another bash.

  Strange thing about going full screen.  When it does go black screen it comes back for a while and then black again (flashing on and off).  But, when it does go black my monitor makes a screaming noise.

OK, I might have sussed it.

I've been in a meeting place for quite a long time tonight, not in full screen though and I haven't had a black screen all night.  I'm going to do more testing though first,  fingers crossed.

It might just be coincidence. So, I'm not getting my hopes up.  Or, it might even be a fix from the Devs.

I'll keep you posted.  ::)

  I've been trying something now for quite a while, a setting within windows that is automatically turned on.  Turned on because it's recommended.  That's why I haven't mentioned it.

  With this setting turned off I have had only a few black screens since my last post on this thread, instead of half a dozen one after the other.

  Instructions Below.

1.  Goto Settings.
2.  System.
3.  Power And Sleep.
4.  Additional Power Settings  (on right hand side of screen).
5.  Choose what the power buttons do.  (Left hand side).
6.  Change settings that are currently unavailable.  (Un-greys the options + requires been a Administrator)
7.  Un-Check  Turn on Fast start up.

  You might have to restart. (I can't remember, Sorry).

  My P.C takes a longer amount of time to load, (Not that much difference though).  BUT,  What i have noticed as well is that when I start a game through Steam I don't get any black screen at all when it is loading up.  So, I don't have to restart my P.C every time I want to have a go at something.

  So there it is.  It might just be coincidence that this has happened since I've changed this setting, or my Video Drivers have removed the problem.  But, it's worth a try.

  Before you do it though.  I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong  ::)  It hasn't on mine. I've had this setting on now for a long time, over two weeks now.
