[Solved] Screen turns black when exiting or switching to desktop from game
#2
Does this happen with any other games or programs? Have you recently changed gmod's settings, launch parameters or configured something related to the game? How about graphics card's settings, have you changed them?

Here's also a couple solutions that could work to go around the issue:
Update or downgrade your graphics card drivers to their previous state(the game used to work with). When trying this solution, completely get rid of all graphics card related drivers or at least try resetting their settings.

Run the game in windowed mode
Add these as launch parameters:
-sw -noborder

Run gmod in an alternate directx mode
You can do so by adding to the game's launch parameters
+mat_dxlevel 81    -    also you can try different directx modes like 80, 98 or 95
you can also try an alternate version of the command above which resets certain graphics settings to default ones related to the setting chosen: -dxlevel 81
NOTE THAT DIRECTX 8 MODE IS BROKEN NOWADAYS AND CAN CAUSE NUMEROUS ISSUES ON SOME SETUPS.
I wouldn't recommend using it
