# Why does TSB show blank screen?

If the **Talview Secure Browser (TSB)** opens but shows a **blank screen** or gets stuck while loading, it can stop you from starting your test or interview. This usually happens due to display settings, outdated system files, or blocked access.

## ✅ Common Causes and Fixes

| **What Might Be Wrong** | **What You Can Do** |
| :- | :- |
| Low system memory or slow boot | Restart your device and try opening TSB again after 1–2 minutes. |
| TSB is not installed properly | Uninstall TSB, then [download the latest version](https://pages.talview.com/securebrowser/) and reinstall it. |
| Black screen caused by antivirus | Open your antivirus and allow [**TSB/Talview Secure Browser**](https://talview.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/11000129091-secure-browser-troubleshooting-guide) in the list of trusted apps. . |
| **System graphics driver** needs update | Update your Windows/macOS to the latest version and restart. |
| Display scaling or resolution issues | Right-click on desktop → **Display Settings** → Set **scale to 100%** and resolution to **Recommended**. |
| Multiple screens or display drivers | Disconnect external monitors and use only your main screen for the test. |
