Update your graphics card driver
You have a black screen on BlueStacks, which is a problem with the display. One reason why a Windows computer’s display might not work is if the graphics card driver is broken or out of date. We suggest that you check to see if your graphics card driver has any updates and install them (if available).
To do this, go to the official website of the company that makes your graphics card. Enter the model name of your graphics card to see if there are any updates. Some websites have something called “auto-detect.” You can also use it to automatically find your graphics card.
Turn off the Threaded optimization
