Back in Windows Vista, this was a symptom of DirectX 9E not implementing precisely the DirectX 9 instructions. Some old games and almost every video editing or video capture application that used DirectX 9 acceleration would show a black window instead of proper graphics. I don't think there was ever any fix, apart from using newer applications without this issue. I am not sure what to suggest, but I would make sure I update the graphics drivers directly from Intel/nVidia/AMD, avoid Windows Update which some times installs only the core driver (not all components) and usually an earlier version. In the rare case that you see a warning that your hardware is customized and you must download a custom driver, visit the computer's (or graphics card's) manufacturer site and get the latest driver from there. Theoretically, DirectX 12 is backwards compatible with DirectX 9, but some older games and applications look for specific files and fail or don't work properly if these are missing, so I recommend to download and install the latest DirectX 9.0c Runtime from here:

@stv357 It frequently happens with "tweaks" that Microsoft will delete or reset them to Windows defaults at various Version Upgrades and Build Updates so be prepared to redo them as one desires.

That's true, some cumulative updates and all upgrades to a newer Windows 11 version reset my customized icons to default and I have to replace them again with Customizer God.
