Full-screen on games/videos goes to black screen after hibernation.

Some time ago, I started getting a black screen when games or videos would go into full-screen, but it was inconsistent and I could not figure out why.

Recently, I noticed it only happens after I leave the computer for a while and come back to it hibernating > lock screen then login.

I also found out that some people are having similar problem with nvidia drivers https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/adaptive-sync-causes-the-screen-to-go-blank-when-the-refresh-rate-drops-below-a-certain-value/79697/44?page=2

I also found some help to troubleshoot, but I cannot find the files https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate#Monitor_occasionally_drops_signal_with_FreeSync_enabled

I noticed if I force adaptive sync in the display settings after hibernation, it goes to black screen until the settings reverts to
automatic
automatic
. But if it is a fresh boot it does not happen if I change the settings to
always
always
.

What is weird, is that only happens after hibernation > lock screen, if I prevent the PC from going to hibernation/lock screen the problem never happens.

I appreciate it if someone could help me troubleshoot this on bazzite.
