I've also been encountering this same issue since updating to 0.76.0 and 0.76.1. I've attached a bug report zip.

Same issue as others here, I upgraded directly from 0.75.1 => 0.76.1 though.

The issue occurs for me exactly once every time I disconnect or connect a monitor (I have several devices on DisplayPort switches).
It also occurs randomly every once and a while as the OP states.

This is what the "blank white screen" looks like:

This issue is happening to a ton of people:
#30382
#30381
#30362
#30359

I am just going to roll this one back because clearly something is very wrong with this release.

This was hotfixed with 0.76.2. Please update PowerToys.
