Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your issue.

  1. Windows version, please use Winver.exe for full version numbers.
  2. What Stardock's Software you're having problem with? And that Software version.

Thanks
Basj,

Winver.exe is a Microsoft software that come with Windows. Just type Windows key + Winver and press enter. That should run Winver.exe.

and I still need to know this.

I notice you mentioned, Stardock's Fences, right? What version of Fences you're on? Is the issue do not happen when you disable Fences? And also, I still need what version of Windows version you're on? As I mentioned on my first reply you can get that information using Winver.exe, which is a program that come along when you install Windows.

These questions, I asked you, so I can help you. And I can give you pointers on how to solve it. But if you can't give me these answers, than I can not help you.

Thank you,

Basj,

Is the issue only happen while you're playing a video and you press Windows key + D. Only while playing video on VLC? Sorry I need more details since I can not reproduce it on my system.

This is happening if I WIN D from any applicatkon. Example a maximized win explorer.

Or any app that iss full screen, alt+tab works fine. But When I do Win +D to go to desktop it is black.

Not for me, I can't reproduce it on my system. BTW, do you see the issue if you use Win + M keys (minimize-all)

Try that and report back.
