Screen Freezes and turns black randomly

I have a weird one my screen suddenly freezes goes black then in a matter of seconds comes back on as if nothing has happened.  I have read that there is problem with Windows 11 and this does it seems to have happened after an update. Any Ideas please?

  • If a simple graphics driver reset doesn't work (Ctrl+WinKey+Shift+B), then updating or reinstalling the graphics driver usually works. If none of those does the trick, it's time to grab Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and take that route.

      Thank you. Resetting the graphic driver did the job. 

  • I recommend to update Display driver to latest version, see if it helps.
