I tried all of this... nothing. 😞 This is rather annoying.
I know it's got to be some sort of video setting. I changed my background on my desktop from a photo to a black solid fill, and my screen went black. I right clicked, changed it to something else, and it was fine. Then, changed it back to black and it was fine. There's some sort of video setting that isn't quite right. Also, in the game, The Forest, sometimes it will work if I'm looking toward something bright, but when it's very dark, it triggers the black screen. Sometimes even if I'm in the windowed mode. Full Screen mode doesn't work at all, just goes straight to black screen at the main menu.
