System Details:

I tried using these fixes with no avail:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/ycamma/how_to_solve_minecraft_black_screen_when_alt/II am not sure why my Minecraft Java started doing this today, I used to be able to have my Minecraft in fullscreen mode and alt + tab with no issue to go into my second monitor and my Minecraft would stay open. There was recently an update in Windows 11 and my Nvidia GeForce had an update as well I did today. I suspect it's the Nvidia GeForce update which is hopefully patched soon but maybe someone else has the same issue to confirm my suspicion?

I know that if you go to non-fullscreen mode, it works fine, but I don't like the taskbar at the bottom, so I'd appreciate it if anyone has any insight on how to get it to work how it was before!

Thank you!

    Hi ,

    I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

    You can use Bodeless Minecraft to activate borderless full screen mode or put the bodeless mine mod from Forge

    https://github.com/Mr-Technician/BorderlessMine...

    Or

    Mod Bodeless Mine just put it in the mods folder of your minecraft and when opening it press f11

    This is a problem with the Nvidia update that is activating DSR.
