Black horizontal bar in Chrome or Edge

[Martin_Smith]

I have three users / computers reporting sporadic display issues specifically when using Chrome or Edge.  When the issue occurs they report the browser displays a black bar horizontally across the browser window.  The only way to recover from this is to reboot.

One user mentioned that when the browser is moved from one display to the other the browser is displayed correctly.  The bar reappears when the browser is moved back to the first display.

I do not yet know which display is [1] or [2], just that the user reports moving the browser from the first display to the second.

For some time we believe the latest driver rectified the issue as long as we blocked "updates" to the driver from Microsoft/Windows/WSUS.

Two of the systems are identical down to the monitors and outputs used to connect the computers to the monitors.

Please see attached results from the SSU and a video of the issue.

The users do not know what actions cause this, it just seems to start at some point and not go away until the computer is rebooted, or as we found out today if the video cable is detached from the monitor then reattached.

Hello Martin_Smith

Thank you for the information. Please let's try the following:

1.-Update to the latest driver version 31.0.101.2125.

2.-Go to the Intel® Graphics Command Center>Display. Under the display menu, go to scale and choose Fullscreen.

3.-If the issue persists, as a test, please try disabling Hardware Acceleration and check if the issue happens.

4.-Also check when the issue happens if enabling and disabling FullScreen mode with the F11 key fixes the issue.

Hi Hugo,

I'll get the latest drivers onto those systems as soon as I can this week.

I'll ask the users to let me know when/if the issue reoccurs.

Thank you for your help.
