Screen sometimes goes black when doing certain things
I had to reinstall Windows 10 a little while ago, and since I did, there have been some oddities involving black screens.I installed Windows 10 from a flash drive, which worked fine. Then I immediately tried to install the Creators update. On the installation screen after rebooting, it would immediately go to black. I tried restarting many times, and it kept going black almost immediately. I managed to get past this by hitting Enter a few times.Now, at random intervals, doing things like dragging a selection in Paint or accessing/resizing certain windows will cause my screen to go completely black. If I hit alt-tab, it will select something else and my display will come back. However, if I try to go back to that window or perform that action again, it goes black again and I have to alt-tab.The thing is, this doesn't always happen, and when it does, a reboot often fixes it. I think it might be related to restarting, because the past two times I remember it happening, I restarted my computer during a session for another reason (update, had to complete an install, etc).It's bothersome and I would appreciate any insight you can give me. I would prefer not to have to reinstall Windows again.
