edit: Seems like the UAC from windows is the culprit

I just discovered that sometimes without any reason it will show a black screen when opening the GPU-Z, but the security window that I have to accept in order to open, it will shows.
Here a demo of the issue:

At 0:30 seconds from the video you can see tht actually it will stay on black screen untill I click something

Yes you are right, if I disabled the UAC or downgrate the level of security seems like not happens anymore.
Thanks
