Hello KynBernie,
The brief black screen suggests the game is crashing during startup, but there is not enough information yet to identify the cause.
Please confirm:
- The exact game name and launcher
- Your Windows version, shown by pressing Windows + R and entering winver
- Whether other games open normally
- Whether this started after an update or installation
Also search for Reliability Monitor from Start, open the failure recorded when the game closed, select View technical details, and share the faulting application/module and exception code. Those details should show whether this involves the game, a graphics driver, or another component.
