Well, i experienced that when i change windows i take time to get in the game like 5/10 sec. I get a black screen after i come back in game. For example when im in game and i open like spotify or chrome or discord. Then i go back in game it goes black screen for a moment and i goes normal. its not like before you could switch windows without waiting seconds. Anyone have the same problem? Any solution pls? It started this patch 8.10 for me. Help pls how to get rid the black sreen when switching other windows. [sg-janna]

There was a recent Windows update which was the problem for me from the looks of it (the Windows update was a few days before the patch).

What fixed it for me was finding your "Focus Assist" settings on your computer and turning EVERYTHING related to it off, even if the feature itself seems to be disabled.

Not sure if it's the same thing causing your problem, but it worked for me and one of my friends.

Yep same this fixed it for me. But to be fair since the update thats not the only issue ive had. FEel like packet loss has been happening alot as well. Character will stop moving compelely but everything else is fine i can click and type but the inputs dont go through. Not sure if its windows update or charter spectrum sucking.
