Getting an annoying issue since latest windows 10 update my firefox whole page goes black randomly I think it might be linked to youtube video playing but not sure.

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration? DDU'd the current GPU drivers and did a clean install?

I'm getting parts of pages go black on google chrome. I wonder if that's due to a windows 10 update as well?

I am getting random black pages with firefox too. Happens once or twice a day. The only way to fix it is to shut down Firefox and restart it.

Like Orcvader said - Disable hardware acceleration. It fixed it on mine. I also know someone who was getting random black flashes (not just in browser). They had Chrome on their system. Disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome reduced the occurrences. They only went away completely when he uninstalled Chrome and went with Firefox (and Hardware acceleration disabled).

Not sure why this is only happening on some systems and not others. But it appears to be some conflict with Windows 10 CU and/or graphics drivers.
