Blackscreen when alt+Tab or windows button

Hi, I have a kind of anoying problem for quite a long time now. When I play some games on my PC, no matter what game, when I try to exit to desktop with windows or alt+Tab buttons i almost always get black screen. Then I have to alt tab again few more times and after some time I'm able to get back to my desktop. My GPU drivers are up to date so I don't know why isr there this kind of problem. Any ideas?

Sounds like a driver issue.... Have you completely clean uninstalled the drivers with DDU and tried installing the drivers again?

Check your screen refresh rate 

 

Right click on desktop > Display settings > Display Adapter Properties > Monitor and make sure your screen refresh rate is at 60 at least. I've had issues in the past where the games refresh rate didn't match so everything would go black.

Is there Black screen for a short quick time? Could be the app your in is using a different resolution than your main screen.

I play world of tanks mainly, it's the same resolution, when I alttab I get blackscreen for enternity, until I alttab again so I get back to the game, after maybe 6th or 8th time I get to desktop finally.

Go to event viewer, does it tell you any alerts? Check system and application tabs.

Do any of those times stand coincide with your black screen event? What's the Kernel Per event with red exclamation?
