Hey,

About every other time after I quit a game in Big Picture mode, I just get a black screen. I can hear the Steam ambient music and cursor moving sounds in the background, but can't see anything. Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+Tab etc. does not bring the display back on either (though it may be working in the background). The only solution is to press the power button, which does seem to shut the machine down "properly".

PC is an Alienware Alpha R2 running Windows 10 (clean install without Dell/AW bloat). Only background program of note is NOD32 v9. The one potential I saw was to force the NV drivers into "Single display mode", which has not helped.

Cheers,

Su
