have you looked at the OS event logs? might be something there.

But not after a restart I guess?
Try to restart Explorer.exe when it happens, if that fixes the problem, we can narrow down the problem a bit.
And make sure you launch folder windows in separate process.

Restarting Explorer is what often triggers the Black Screen Of Despair.
I just can't help thinking there's something like this in Explorer:
void main()
{
LoadUpLibrariesNStuff();
GetUserPreferences();
SetDesktopBackgroundFromThePreferencesWeLiterallyJustLoadedUp();
RandomlyRearrangeDesktopIcons();
...
}

Well, that implies something is not right with your explorer installation.
The first thing I would check though, as a continuation of Garys suggestion, is whether you have disabled Windows Telemetry? Either by group policy or by disabling some files.

This is a vanilla Windows install and it's happened on every single Bootcamp installation I've done. For years.

There are other colors than black ? (asking for friend).

I was going to suggest setting the background color to black. So even if the problem keeps happening...nobody would notice.

Adding / removing monitors might be confusing the thing. If I don't have all my monitors on, I'll sometimes "lose" a window that was on a monitor that is not on at resume.

The black background is what you get when your product key doesn't validate (aka "This copy of Windows isn't genuine"). It's possible Bootcamp isn't allowing the required communication during the wake-from-sleep process.

Hmm - interesting.
There's no "This is a totally dodgy version of Windows" warning when this happens though, and I've seen (sorry, a friend has seen) plenty of invalid installs of Windows.

Stand on your left leg, close your eyes, put your fingers in your ears and go lalalalala for one minute. The screen will still be black but you will have de-stressed. Works for me.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Interesting, but I tried simply applying ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) and that seemed to fix things.

Funny thing is, when I logged into my new VM, at my new work, for the first 3 or 4 days, the background keep toggling between default window background or company background on and off every login!
But now it is stabled....
Not that it helps, but it's funnily similar...

No! The contrariness happens once we marry them. The rhyme is just a warning we all ignored.

My friend Betty bought a bit of butter;
“But,” she said, “this butter's bitter!
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit o’ better butter
Will but make my batter better.”
Then she bought a bit o’ butter
Better than the bitter butter,
Made her bitter batter better.
So ’twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit o’ better butter
(Original by Carolyn Wells, 1899)

Woah! ...never seen that version before - much more interesting than the short one I knew on the same theme:
"Betty bought a bit o' butter
but she found the butter bitter
so Betty bought a better bit o' butter
to make the bitter butter better"
...have to learn that one now!

The PHB is correct - it's all in the way that you look at it.
