After Windows 10 update randomly getting a black screen after playing a video

[merlin1320]

So I am having an issue with my PC where it is randomly going to a black screen with just a cursor on the HDMI displayed TV. This randomly happens when I start to watch a video. When this happens it modifies the resolution making the cursor a lot bigger than it should be. The only new things with my PC is that I finally ran the Windows updates from April until now. Also on that same day I updated my NVIDIA Graphics drivers for my PC. I cannot isolate the cause of the issue. The other threads similar to this are all over 8 months old that I found and thus did not help me.

PC Specs:

• 
  ASRock 297 Killer Motherboard
  Windows 10 Pro 64- Bit OS
  16 GB of RAM DDR 3 G.Skill PC3-10700
  Intel Pentium CPU G3420 @ 3.20 GHz
  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
  2 Internal HDDs with 559 GB Free of 931 on C: and 521 GB of 1.81 TB on D:

If I need to add anymore information I'd be happy to.

Does the same happens on VGA or DVI? Did you clear the cache of Windows Update?

It does happen when connected to VGA. I usually have 2 Monitors hooked up through VGA and HDMI. I just tried clearing the Windows update cache and will see if that helps.

Ok, please give as a feedback. Good luck.

So I tried clearing the cache and it did not work for me. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
