This season’s major Windows 11 update is hitting users with unexpected screen-related issues, according to reports. Since the latest version rolled out to beta testers, there’s been a surge of complaints about various display problems.

Users on Microsoft’s support forums and Reddit are reporting a range of issues, including persistent screen setting resets after restarts, black screens when switching apps using Alt + Tab, and lag or black screens during fullscreen gaming. The problems are diverse, impacting both everyday tasks and gaming experiences.

To address these issues, users have suggested various solutions, from checking hardware cables and updating display drivers to performing a full reinstall of Windows. If these troubleshooting steps don’t resolve the problems, reverting to the previous Windows 11 version (23H2) might be the best temporary fix until Microsoft issues a resolution. Be aware that rolling back could involve a full reinstall of the operating system.
