@Unify2456 Thank you. Will take a look at the file but I can see that the system does have an Intel GPU as well as an RTX 4050 Laptop GPU. Typically a black screen like that indicates the system is trying to use the dedicated GPU, not the RTX GPU.
Try first changing the dedicated GPU and see if that works
- Right-click on the desktop
- Select NVIDIA Control Panel
- Click Manage 3D Settings from the left menu
- Under the Global Settings tab, click the drop-down menu for Preferred graphics processor
- Select High-performance NVIDIA processor from the list
- Click Apply to save the changes
Also, check out the Set my Nvidia graphics card article.
@EA_Shepard Hi so i actually did mess up and did not have my graphics drivers up to date but i have done that now and nothing has changed at all absolutely nothing does the exact same, all other games im playing work perfectly fine. I also did what you asked before or suggested double checked it was already set to that and i set the individual program too it as well in the nvidia control panel i have no idea what to do you need me to do another dxdiag or something just let me know.

@Unify2456 Gotcha. I took a look at the file you attached and this is what I can see. Some of this may have changed since you saved it but good to double-check anyway.
The first thing I saw was your GPU drivers in the file were out of date. The date shows 06/10/2022 I would download GeForce Now and update them.
Check for GPU updates
After reviewing the file, these are the errors I found from the logs of the DxDiag
1. **AppHangB1 involving explorer.exe**:
- **Fault bucket**: 1752439523518253058
- This indicates that Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) is becoming unresponsive (hanging).
2. **RADAR_PRE_LEAK_64 involving EpicWebHelper.exe**:
- **Fault bucket**: 1691374340519482670 and type.
- This suggests a potential memory leak in the Epic Games Launcher helper process.
3. **AppHangTransient involving ErrorReporter.exe**:
- **Fault bucket**: Type 0.
- **Version**: ErrorReporter.exe 13.207.0.5720.
- The Error Reporter itself is experiencing transient hangs.
4. **BEX (Buffer Overflow Exception) involving NVIDIA Install Application**:
- **Fault bucket**: 1774235783705505697
- **Versions**: setup.exe_NVIDIA Install Application 2.1002.418.0 and ntdll.dll 10.0.22621.3672.
- This indicates a buffer overflow error occurring in the NVIDIA installer.
5. **AppHangB1 involving NVIDIA GeForce Experience.exe**:
- **Fault bucket**: 1741841345247128735 and type 5, or type 0.
- Indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce Experience application is hanging.Troubleshooting steps
