Download the Nvidia GeForce 456.71 hotfix driver, as released by NVIDIA. This release fixes issues black screen and GSYNC, Fortnite crashes with RTX, and Divinity: Original Sin 2 Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling.

Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is optimized for the best gameplay on day-1. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums. For those that wonder, the DCH driver is a Microsoft DCH (Declarative Componentized Hardware supported apps) driver, and refers to a new Windows 10 driver package preinstalled by OEMS implementing the Microsoft Universal Driver paradigm. While the base core component files remain the same, the way DCH drivers are packaged differs from previous Legacy (Standard) drivers.

GeForce Hotfix display driver version 456.71 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 456.55. The hotfix addresses the following issues:

Launching a game in full-screen mode may trigger a black screen on adaptive sync monitors if G-SYNC is enabled
[Fortnite] Game may experience a crash when using in-game RTX Shadows/Reflection
[Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition] Enabling Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling results in lower frame rate

Thank you for your constructive input, we appreciate it.

On a more serious note, this seems to fix the short black screens upon launching games with G-Sync. It’s been an issue for a few months now, glad to see it finally resolved .

As with 456.38, Adaptive Sync will not "stick" with this driver after a reboot. It still works, but I have to toggle the "Enable settings for the selected display model" check box in NVCP after each reboot. It then functions perfectly until the next reboot.
Even though my monitor is not "Certified" it has always worked perfectly up to and including 452.22. I only have 1 display - LG 38WK95C-W FreeSync Monitor - DDU Safe mode used - Full driver package installation (minus GFE).

@ManuelG I've just submitted a feedback form.

Thanks. Got the feedback

The Hotfix driver seems to have solved my issue as well.

First one seems kinda important overall, guessing it's recoverable (Or the tried Windows key, ctrl, shift, B or how it was.) but while shifting to borderless is happening full-screen is still widely used and popular plus not every game uses things that benefit windowed or borderless mode especially earlier titles.
(Well that'd be a majority of D3D11 titles overall really without third party utilities to force said support of newer features.)

Don't know about RTX but Fortnite as one of the most played games so no wonder that would be resolved ASAP.
Divinity 2 further improving H-GPU Scheduling even if it has to be done on a per-title basis.
