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?

Thank you in advance!

    Since i updated to 24H2 im having this issue. Games sometimes freeze or i get black screen + DisplayPort Logo for a moment when i alt-tab from or back to them.

    Tried updating everything, reinstalling GPU drivers with DDU but nothing works.

    Windows is fully updated.

    Good morning, I had same problems and for me reinstall back to Windows 10 was the only solution (couldnt restore older version of Windows 11 because of the timeout on this option). I saw few things like disabling game mode, change your monitor cable so you can definitely try these but personally if its Windows version bug there is not much you can do unless they fix it.

    I dont think so, you can try disabling Game Mode, change your monitor cable or restore older version of Windows (if you still can).
