Screen occasionally goes black for a split second, showing only the mouse cursor

My computer running Windows 10 has been having an issue where the screen occasionally turns black for a fraction of a second. It's not the input or signal because during this issue, the screen is actually on and I only see a mouse cursor or the blue "loading circle" that replaces the mouse on the black background before the picture is restored.

It would only be a minor annoyance if it didn't remove control in my game until I alt-tab back into it.

I am convinced that some sort of background process is the cause but am having trouble determining which one it is. I used tasklist to get a list of the background processes that are running during the issue, which I've listed below, and would be grateful if anyone could help me narrow down the culprit.

If anyone can help me get to the cause of the issue I would appreciate it!
