Fusion360 Menu Bar is Black after April 2021 update - Surface Pro 6

Dear all, 

 

As of yesterday Fusion360 was working fine on my Microsoft Surface Pro 6 without any monitor attached. I even installed an update earlier this week and as of yesterday it was working fine.

 

Today I opened Fusion360 and without really paying much attention, I noticed it restarted and indicated that Fusion360 was updated.

 

Now, the toolbar / menu bar appears black (please see screenshot).

 

No changes as far as I'm aware have been made to the PC in the last week. The surface pro 6 has an Intel UHD Graphics 620 chip and according to the windows device manager, it's up to date. I also have no "Windows Updates" pending.

 

I also went to the Fusion360.exe, right-clicked properties, and disabled "fullscreen optimizations" to see if that would help.

 

No luck. I also adjusted the screen size from the currently selected 200% to 100%, didn't make a difference with the black bar.

 

So, before I go on a hunt for possibly additional drivers and things, is this by chance a known issue?

 

It coincided with a Fusion360 update that took place on my computer today, not sure if it's a coincidence or not.

 

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

this problem is being fixed.  An update should be available soon.  See this support post for a workaround:  black-banner-on-fusion-360-update

Thank you for the quick reply, and apologies for the redundant post. I missed the black screen sticky on the troubleshooting forum. Will continue to follow that thread!
