So, in this article, we’ll try to solve a couple of screen problems in Windows 10. But first, here are some more examples of this issue:

Windows 10 screen flashing on and off – Your screen may not flash constantly, but only in certain time intervals. Windows 10 flickering start menu – There’s a chance your screen will flash only when you open the Start Menu. Black screen windows 10 with the cursor – Black screen usually appears if you have two monitors. Simply detach one of your monitors and the problem should disappear. Windows 10 black screen without cursor – In some cases, you won’t even see a cursor when the black screen appears. This can be caused by your BIOS configuration. To fix the problem, you need to check BIOS configuration and make sure that you’re using only the dedicated graphics. Windows 10 white screen crash – If your computer crashes after a white screen, it’s possible that your graphics card is faulty, so be sure to test it and replace it if needed.

How do I deal with screen problems in Windows 10?

1. Black screen during Windows 10 installation

This issue doesn’t usually appear on regular computers. All people who reported black screen during the Windows 10 installation also said that they have two graphics cards or two monitors connected to the computer. So the solution is very simple, just unplug the second monitor or disconnect the second graphics card, and you should be able to install Windows 10 normally. While disconnecting the second monitor is easy (you just have to unplug the cable), to disable the second graphics card (probably integrated) you’ll have to go to BIOS. In most cases, people told us that one of these methods worked, and I hope that it will work for you too. However, if you have black screen problems after you installed Windows 10, check for the solution below.

2.1. Check if your drivers are compatible Users are having driver compatibility problems ever since upgrading to Windows 10, because a lot of older graphic cards still don’t have compatible drivers. Also, even if there are Windows 10-compatible drivers for your graphics cards, maybe you didn’t download them. So reach for the Device Manager and see if your drivers are updated. Update drivers automatically Searching for drivers on your own can be time-consuming. So, we advise you to use a tool that will do this for you automatically. Using an automatic driver updater will certainly save you from the hassle of searching for drivers manually, and it will always keep your system up to date with the latest drivers. For example, a third-party driver updater and repair tool like DriverFix could do the job much faster and better. Just download and install it on your PC, and launch it to start a full system scan to identify all the outdated, broken, or missing drivers. Once the scan is finished simply select which drivers you need taken care of, and let Driverfix do the rest. After the new drivers have been downloaded and installed, restart your PC for good measure, and you’re all set.

To eliminate the doubt, simply disconnect all your peripherals to see if it makes any difference. If a peripheral indeed causes the problem, search online for some further troubleshooting steps. 2.4. Update Windows  If this is a widespread problem, Microsoft usually acknowledges it relatively fast. That means the company will release a workaround in form of an update. To make sure you get that update, simply go to Settings > Windows Update, and check for updates. 2.5. Run the Troubleshooter If none of the previous solutions resolved the issue, let’s turn to troubleshooters. The first one we’re going to try is Windows 10’s own troubleshooting tool. This feature can help you deal with various system issues, including our problem with the screen. 2.6.
