I installed the 572.16 drivers via the Nvidia App on my Windows 11 24H2 PC. I now get black screen issues.

If windows turns my display off and I wait like a minute. I try to turn it back on by moving the mouse. The monitor turns back on but the display remains black.
I am forced the restart the PC using the physical button.
Sometimes at windows start up I also get a back screen.

After managing the restart in safe mode and installing the previous release of the drivers 566.36 with a clean install, I don’t have issues anymore.

Welcome to the NVIDIA Developer forums and Thank you for letting us know.

Just to note, this community serves the developer ecosystem.

For consumer issues, it is usually more efficient to visit the GeForce forums.
