Screen Blinks at Login

I have Catalina and when I login my screen blanks for a second and then returns to normal. Does anyone know why this happens and possibly how to fix this.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

High Joel,


We might find the reason with this... or not...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.

Have been busy. Refuse to get rid of Norton. Found a virus on my previous Mac Mini and refuse to operate a mac now without protection. The virus slowed my old mac to a crawl. I did find out that the screen blinks when I bring it out of sleep mode and don't have to use a password to get into my computer. Also, I have checked and it will blank even when there is over 1GB of memory free, so it is not a memory issue.
