I grabbed two test machines of similar specs and still getting the bug.
Nvidia driver 566.03
Windows is on 24H2 (OS Build 26100.2161)
Could potentially roll one of them forward on to a release/dev branch to see if it is fixed there.
Black screen issues on Windows 11 24H2 when ALT+TABing?

So as the title suggests, when I ALT+TAB from a game both of my screens go black for about 4-5 seconds and then work normally.
Is anyone else having this issue and if so, is there a solution?

- [ALT + Tab] Fixed: The screen goes black on some PCs for a few seconds when you switch between certain windows.
BUT PROBLEM STILL HERE. i still have 2-3 second black screen in fullscreen mode, if i change it to fullscreen borderless problem is gone, lol
how its even possible to not fix problem 3 months in a row? - [ALT + Tab] Fixed: The screen goes black on some PCs for a few seconds when you switch between certain windows.

2024-11-02T09:02:55+00:00 Same issue here, although I've had it on 23H2 before - which caused me to downgrade back to Windows 10.
It seems to occur with DX11 programs way more than DX12.
System info:
Win11 Pro 24H2, build 26100.2161Nvidia driver 566.03 (RTX3060ti)
BIOS ver. 3.40 (latest stable) for AsRock B550M Steel Legend
The issue isn't caused by G-sync and neither is it caused by having the game run in a different resolution/refresh rate than the desktop resolution and refresh rate.
