Windowed ok, but fullscreen = black screen

Resolume 4.2.1
NVidia GT 650M
Windows 10
A projector is connected to the laptop but whenever I try to switch to fullscreen I get a black screen.
When I select windowed, I do get a visual but obviously I would like to get fullscreen to work.
I never experienced any problems with this and I googled my ass off but couldn't find a solution so far..
In the NVidia control panel I changed the Arena.exe settings to 'Compatibilty Performance Mode'.
Any suggestions would be great!

There are some issues with Windows 10 and computers with both NVidia and Intel cards.
Have you made sure you are running the latest version of the NVidia drivers?

I got it resolved.
Turns out Windows 10 automaticly sets 2nd screen on 75hz, but when i set it on 60hz the problem was solved.

Hello all,
I've got the same problem but my 2nd screen is 60Hz is still black when I output to it.
I tried
- output 1st screen full screen -> work
- output 1st screen windowed screen -> work
- output 2nd screen full screen -> not working
- output 2nd screen windowed -> not working
- output 1st screen windowed and move the window to 2nd screen -> working
- output advanced -> not working
- if i downscale my composition settings (720p instead of 1080p), output 2nd screen windowed -> working (centered in my 1080p screen).
It seems to be a fullscreen problem on an extend desktop on windows.
My Nvidia driver are up to date (v355.98 - 09/22/2015).
Arena is forced to use Nvidia in Nvidia Control Panel.
Thanks for helping to solve this problem

To anyone having this problem:
Could you please try setting your Windows Desktop Scaling to 100%? :

Although we haven't confirmed anything yet, we think this solves the problem.
It would be great if one or more of you could confirm whether this works or not.

I am100% scaled on both my primary and second monitor and I still have the problem.
I am on Windows10 so the scaling option is different than before.
