My screen goes black when I press the Windows button, Start Menu or search bar

My screen goes black when I press the Windows button, Start Menu or search bar. Sometimes after not so short time the screen comes back to normal with Start Menu in view, but most likely I have to close the Start Menu or escape searchbar to get my screen back. It's like that every time i press windows button or search sothing in bar.

I am working on Windows 10 Pro, and have all new Windows Updates installed.

I have tried the solutions from this similar problem, but non of them worked.

How might I fix it?
