This happens often, and it's really annoying.
After some minutes of inactivity, Windows 10 puts MacBook Pro screen in sleep mode.
But, after wake, I can see the touchbar active, while the screen remains black, and there's no way to wake it, if not rebooting.
Is there a fix or a workaround for this?

Create a Windows System Restore point and Update AMD graphics drivers for Windows in Boot Camp - Apple Support, if necessary.
If the standard AMD drivers do not work, try the drivers from bootcampdrivers.com.

Hi Marco,
Have a look at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250268973?page=1
perhaps there is a connection. I mainly had BSOD's connected to the "Apple Audio Device" but I believe I experienced the issue you described at least 2 times as well (in a very short period of time). Now after deactivating the "Apple Audio Device" in the win 10 device manager, I have not had any issues anymore in almost a week.
Would be intresting to test if you see any improvement if you deactivate the "Apple Audio Device" temporarily.
Ok. After few days of tries I understood that it's a Graphic Driver (AMD Vega 20) crash.
I tried to temporarily disable Ibernation, leaving auto screen sleep after 5min on, and that's when the crash happens: while the GPU is under working load and I wake the screen after inactivity.

Try Apple Software Update.
Wondering if bootcampdrivers.com just tweaks graphic performance or does graphic related bug fixing too...
It should have bug fixes, too.
Are you using Sleep/Hibernate or turning off 'devices' under Power Options based on inactivity timers?
Yes, I modified (months ago) the default timer so that the screen would turn off after 3min if inactivity.
I just made a reset of these options to see if it works.
Resetting power options didn’t solve the issue.
Is Sleep/Hibernate enabled?
Yes it is.
I found it useful that the machine automatically sleeps after 30min of inactivity.
the problem is that it doesn’t wake up anymore 😀
Can you temporarily disable Sleep and test if you can wake up Windows?

Windows 10 black screen after wake!
