Steam Games start to black screen

[Rapanui]

I'm not good with computers, and I have recently tried to get back into playing games with Steam.

This is my problem:
I have tried to launch 2 games through steam, Punch Club, and The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. Each game will launch, but it is just a black screen, but I can hear the audio of the games. Punch Club I can see the game mouse cursor, and when clicking around the windowed screen, I eventually do hear that it's clicking on something.

Things that I've tried to do:
-Clicking ALT-Tab
-Clicking ALT-Enter
-Going to the launch thing, and doing "-window"
-Going to browse local files, then on the .exe clicking the compatibility mode thing for Windows 8, and clicking Run as Admin.
-Uninstalling, and reinstalling Punch Club (I didn't bother with Warlock)
-Checking for Windows updates, and installing them
-Going to my device manager, and going to each individual thing to update drivers, which I did, then restarted my computer
-Checked for Lenovo updates, and did a system check
-Tried to look for updates with my Nvida graphics card through the Nvida Control Panel

My computer specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i74710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 16.0 GB
System type: 64-bit Operation System, x64-based processor
Pen and Touch: Touch Support with 10 Touch Points

(Shouldn't I be getting more information when looking up my computer specs than just that?)

I am on Windows 10, a Lenovo Laptop
I put my install file outside of the programs x86
Nvida Geforce GTX 860M

Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I realize how old this is but I figured Id go ahead and put down how I solved this problem for myself. I cant say for certain weather or not this is the same problem everyone else is having but here goes.

the issue: the game would start but goes to black screen. however you can still hear the audio and even interact with the menu's with the mouse or controller.

the cause: for me this was happening simply because the game was launching in a different resolution than my monitor/TV. as a result, the game would run and audio worked fine but I got no picture.

the solution: If this is the problem for you, than all you need to do is right click on the game in your steam library, then left click on "properties". left click on the "launch options" bar. then type

-screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080

but change the width and height numbers to match your monitor/TV's resolution. click O.K and then launch the game.

Hope this helps!

Thank you - this is the only thing I’ve found so far that has helped me 😭 I bought several amazing games I have not been able to play up until this very moment.

The way I fixed this:

1. Go to the game exe file (go to Programs x86 > Steam > Steamapps > common > "game name" folder)
2. Right-click on the exe file and go to properties
3. Under properties, go to compatibility
4. Under compatibility, check "disable fullscreen optimizations"

I think my issue has been that the games run in a different resolution than my computer. It wasn't something that caused issue before, but it has begun to and this seems to be the fix for me. Hope this helps anyone out there who just spent an hour googling this.

Thank you very much for posting your solution. I was having a black screen issue with Mortal Kombat XL and Tekken 8. Your solution fixed both games. This was the first time I ran into this issue.

Is the Bios even update at the board, dont expect auto update app do its job, then most assume so, not the first time a Brand app name has update issue.

also ask Lenovo Laptop support, according to spec it seem right, but it might need full game performance.
