Fix Black Screen Issues Using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
Most PC gamers are familiar with this process and for good reason! It fixes pretty much every graphics problem that isn't a hardware one. As a result, it's always at the top of the list!
-
Download Display Driver Uninstaller
-
Download the latest graphics drivers for your hardware, then disable your Internet connection.
-
Open it then select the option to remove GeForce Experience (GFE) if prompted. (Remove the AMD software if you are using AMD)
-
After the process is complete, restart your computer.
-
Reinstall your graphics drivers, ensuring your internet connection is re-established to prevent Windows from automatically installing generic drivers.
-
After reinstalling your drivers, re-download GeForce Experience and update your drivers as needed. If the issue persists, repeat the process.
