Hello,
gPhotoShow Free and Pro work fine on Windows 11.
If you only get a black screen it means there is no picture to display. Check gPhotoShow settings and make sure the configured directories are correct and contain images to display

Do you have any other program that updates the desktop ? If you are 100% sure there are no programs updating the windows background then there is something with windows or the display adapter drivers that causes the flickering.
