Which version of Ai are you running? Can you see the application menu at the top?

Have you tried to Reset Workspace? Can you check your Preferences > User Interface change to gray or white?

What is the size  and type of document that have open?

What happens if you try to open a template file?

That's not what im meaning. My whole work space is just black when i open my recent work,

No colors, no lines, nothing, only black.

Maybe update your graphics drivers

and or, turn off GPU acceleration by clicking on the rocket symbol.

In order to help we have to eliminate some things... Can you see the top menu? Can you post a screen shot?

I would like to bump this thread. Running windows 10 on a lenovo y720 with a geforce gtx 1060

Just solved actually. The only way I got it to work was downloading a UI template from creative cloud and it populated the workspace with template. I then created a new document and the black went away.

Great! I thought opening a template might help you reset the workspace...
