Could you please help me as I am getting black screen issue with latest version of postman
Hey @BharatKodalkar,
Welcome to the community
Are you able to provide some more environment details (Version, OS, etc) about the issue youโre facing?
Also, a screen shot would help us to see the problem too.
Issues related to black screen on Postman usually is resolved by disabling GPU, this article here should help you on the same.
Iโm having the same issue. I installed the latest version of Postman (7.5). I open up postman and everything is fine until the API sync stops, then a few seconds later everything goes black except the menu bar. I tried the GPU fix mentioned, that didnโt work.
I am running Windows 10 Enterprise.
HI @pmbrushfam
Apologies for the delay in response. May I know if the issue occurs after sending the Http request, like the one we are currently working on GitHub here or if the issue exists soon after the application is run?
It happens before I can send a request. If Iโm fast I can sometimes hit the send button.
Hi @pmbrushfam
Thank you for the response. To check on this further, can you please send across the App Startup Logs from View > Developer > View Logs
(.zip folder) to [email protected], if possible?
I have attached the logs as well as a screen capture.
I just opened Postman and didnโt click on anything. You can see that the screen just goes black shortly after everything loads.
(Attachment logs.zip is missing)
I tried to send a video, but it got rejected by the mail server. I have attached the logs.

I keep getting this message when trying to send the zipped folder of logs:
Unfortunately some attachments in your email message to [โ[email protected]โ] (titled Re: [Postman] [Help] Could you please help me as I am getting black screen issue with latest version of postman) were rejected.
Details:
logs.zip: Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorized (authorized extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif).
If you believe this is an error, contact a staff member.
Is there another way to send you the logs?
Hi @pmbrushfam
Thank you for attaching the gif, it looks like the similar issue we are tracking on our GitHub mentioned earlier. Our team is currently working towards the fix and will keep you posted on Github thread for the same.
For sending through the logs, you can submit a new request by navigating to this link here. Please sign into your Postman account for submitting the same.
Hi @Kurmavatar,
Is there any news regarding the black window issue? I have sent requests earlier today without any problems. But suddenly I experience the same as shown in @pmbrushfamโs video.
I am also on Windows 10 Enterprise.
Hi @janemnash
Welcome to the community
Our engineering team is currently working on the issue and you can check the updates on the issue from this link here.
Can you check if all of your data is synced to the web dashboard ? If yes, there is a comment from a user on the same thread which resolved this, can you see if that helps?
Hi @Kurmavatar,
Yes, it does syncronize successfully. I donโt have the tool the user in the comment is using, but I can see in Task Manager that Postman takes a lot of both CPU and memory, and has a very high power usage. Then the window turns black and the CPU, menory and power usage all go down.
Hi @janemnash,
You can check the Devtools mentioned by the user from within the application:
As you have confirmed all of the data is synced, you can clear the IndexDb by navigating to this link here:
C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Postman
C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\Postman
Note: If any of your data isnโt synced to Web dashboard, deleting this folder will wipe the data permanently.
Thank you
HI Iโm new user to Postman, downloaded latest windows version 32-bit and installed on Windows 7. Installation was successful but when the application launched it is just black screen without menu bar.
Hi @sumabisht
Welcome to the community
Can you check the link from the previous reply and let us know if that helps?
Hi,
Iโm also getting a black screen. Iโm on a Mac so the previous suggestions have not worked. Iโve originally had it on 1 macbook and once it stopped working, I switched to a second macbook and it just stopped working today.
The above resolution would only help if the issue is faced on the Windows system. May I know if you are receiving a black screen upon launching the application or after sending particular requests - running through the collection runner?
Could you also try updating the application to the latest version (Settings > Update - v.7.23.0) and let us know if that helps?
