Do the dxdiag for youself. If you have an Intel CPU from the past 7 years you will get similar results.
My display is connected to the dedicated GPU port and the integrated intel gpu gets deactivated by default. My dedicated GPU gets used everywhere otherwise I could not play performance demanding games on high settings.
This problem occures on both AMD and NVIDIA hardware.
Your advice (which I personaly think is useless) refers to NVIDIA hardware, which I do not have.

So far it looks as something introduced with Win10 CE full screen optimization code.

sorry posted wrong link, i have one (tech support links) for both Nvidia and AMD for dual GPU use, but will now stay out of it, as you are getting staff help anyway and seem more than unhappy with others offering advice,
namely me so i'll withdraw and keep my nose out where it's not wanted[:(]

I am having the same issue, running it on Win 8 compatibility have solved it for me.

Thanks for the info.
I've *seen* somewhere that similar issues have been solved with newest nVidia drivers. Haven't checked myself yet.

I've installed the last Nvidia drivers (384.94 ) and set the compatibility to Windows 8 and the game now works in full screen. [:)]

Same problem on Win 10 with Nvidia 3.82.05.
Haven't had an issue with this series since the night WitE was released. What the heck changed?
I've got 500+ games that work fine. Well, I hope they work fine. Not like we had a choice with MS Creative. I'm still trying to get rid of that Cortana b**** [8|]

Two things, Windows 10 Creators edition and Nvidia drivers. Like I've posted in my previous post, update your Nvidia drivers and ensure you set the compatibility to Windows 8. Make sure that "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and "Disable Fullscreen optimizations" are ticked off.

Same blackout issue here. Setting to Win8 compatibility also worked for me.

I have seen a few games lock up at the start if you load Nvidia drivers and also load in the VR drivers without having VR hardware. You can uninstall the driver and do a custom install and choose not to add in the extra VR stuff and see if that helps.

I would like to confirm that setting to Win 8 compatibility also worked for me. Have fun everyone! [:)]

Running the latest AMD Radeon drivers and setting Win8 compatibility did NOT fix the fullscreen issue for me.

Setting it to Windows 8 works but not if I alt-tab out of the game and back to it - then the black screen returns [&:]

And the black screen returns if I try to resize the window.

I've just tested the ALT-TAB and I didn't get a black screen in my Windows 10.
Make sure that your graphic card is updated with the last drives.

The same here, except it's Windows 10 Home.
If you need to do alt-tab, maybe it's better for you to play in Windowed mode.

How do you "resize the window" if you're running in full screen, as the thread presumes?

Window mode can't go black.
