      I just updated my all my packages tonight. I am on Retropie 4 with 8 gb of ram. It updated the kernal etc. Now after a few seconds in emulators, or the emulationstation screen the screen will blank out. But if I unplug my hdmi and wait and play with it a bit or plug it back in I most of the time can get it to come back. Not sure if this is a hardware issue, or something with the update. It seems like when I used an old sd card I didn't notice it black out but didn't test it too long. Anyway help?

      Pi Model or other hardware: (4 8GB)
      Power Supply used: USBC (via USB port)
      RetroPie Version Used (4.71):
      Built From: (Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website,
      USB Devices connected: Rii Keyboard Dongle
      Controller used: miadore
      Error messages received:
      Emulator: (any
      How to replicate the problem: update all packages, and kernal then just browse the emulationstation windows...

          @buzz I am using the right port (the normal output one), and it works fine, then all of the sudden it blanks out, unplugging and replugging seems to help.
