Troubleshoot black screen or blank screen errors

Via Jan Gentleman, I learned

• about the Ctrl+⇧ Shift+⊞ Win+B shortcut on Windows 10 and 11 that restarts starts video driver
• that documentation is in [Wayback/Archive] Troubleshoot black screen or blank screen errors as
  

  Action 1: Try a Windows Key sequence to wake the screen.

  If you’re using a device with a keyboard connected to it, select Windows logo key  + Ctrl + Shift + B. If you’re in tablet mode, press the volume-up and volume-down buttons simultaneously three times within two seconds. If Windows is responsive, a short beep will sound and the screen will blink or dim while Windows attempts to refresh the screen.

Later I found out it also is in Table of keyboard shortcuts – Wikipedia: General shortcuts

Also I learned how people order the modifier keys is varying.
