black screen intermittently

Hi, I'm on the stable version of 2.9 and I am getting a black screen almost every time I click something (to go into instant action, mission, campaign) but also get black screens popping up in the mission (just for a couple seconds then it clears).  I also get a black screen every time a mission is loading, I don't see the scroll bar as the mission loads anymore, I just end up sitting in the cockpit when the screen finally clears.  I have tried adjusting my settings with no luck.  I have DLSS enabled, I have turned clouds down to high, performance is set to balanced (was originally quality).  I have played with all the settings that others like Spudknocker and Jabber have talked about in their videos.  Not sure what else to try and it's almost impossible to play (black screen always seems to pop up at the worst possible time)!  I have a fairly new computer (i9, 3080 ti card).

Any thoughts?

I solved it.  If it helps anyone else, don't install Nvidia drivers manually!  I used the console this time to update the drivers and it fixed the issue.

So, you're saying to make sure and use Nvidia Gforce Experience app to apply updates for the GPU?

Unless Win11 handles driver updates differently than Win10, I'd avoid GFExperience like a plague. Always preferred manual method in 10 but hey - if GFE works for OP, it works. Problem has been solved and that's the most important thing.
