I was merrily typing into Chrome, and both monitors went off. Then blinked, then off, then back again.
Only ... Chrome has switched monitors, and so has my task bar, and all open windows had messed up size and positions.
Almost as if Windows 10 had updated itself without asking (now there is a surprise) but without any update alerts in the notifications area. Most odd.
Any body else seen this? Winver reports Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.296)

Often enough, when Windows has a seizure and resets the settings of your monitors / the resolution / the primary screen for the desktop.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

no doubt ms will blame it on (1) chrome, (2) changing ANY settings from win10 defaults, (3) goto 1.

I think this happens when somehow an unsupported resolution is set. Then the blinking starts, windows notices that there's something wrong and tries to recover by using older 'safe' settings.

Me! Currently my 2nd monitor is turned off as the desktop keeps alternating between on and a black screen.
Window 7 Ultimate, and in my case not related to Chrome as its not installed.

I had this kind of behavior after installing new graphics drivers. Sometimes the settings for the dektop and/or the resolution was changed or set back to older settings.

Check your cables.
Could be one of your screens momentarily disconnected. Windows then tries to "adjust" as best as it can.
It does mess up from time to time.
On my work laptop I currently have 7 screens according to windows (In reality I only have 3 if I count the laptop screen itself)...
And disconnecting them seems to only confuse windows into thinking they are still there. It's annoying as hell, cause everything then opens on my second screen that isn't there...
At home I'v never had any problems with it though and there I have 4 screens, if I disconnect one windows instantly goes to another configuration, connect it again and it goes back to the original configuration.
I guess it depends on window's mood while installing it?

Check Windows Updates. I had the same thing, and it turned out that Windows had installed a new nVidia graphics driver.

Same here. A new NVidea driver installed yesterday or the day before. While the driver installed both monitors flashed, but all was well after the installation. I have found that the monitors flash quite often when a new video driver is being installed. I consider this "normal" and it has little to do with Windows.

Quite often, but I use Windows Surface Pro 3, both at work and home. When docking station (for some Microsoft knows what reason) lost connection with the device, all open windows get scrambled between two monitors.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Dates.
A date is represented as either a floating point value or "datetime". So far so good.
I set the date to 0, and the resulting datetime representation was null. Hmmmm.
I set it to 1, and the datetime was 31 Dec 1899. Well, okay... I guess.
The real adventure starts when you try to find the absolute max datetime that can be represented. There is no documentation that I could find that says what this value is, and I think I know why.
That value is 313740917827896, or 31 Dec 4294967295.
If you add 1 to the numeric value, the represented datetime becomes 01 Jan 0000.
If you continue adding, you can go all the way to 313740918558381, which gives you a datetime of 31 Dec 1999.
If you add 1 to that value, it finally overflows into something that evidently cannot be interpreted as a date.
If you really want a laugh, I changed that absolute max value to a negative number, and I got a datetime of 4294967292 Jan 1900. Yes, that first number is the DAY. Curiously, it's almost the same value as the max possible year (before it wraps around).
I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
