The black screen is LaunchBox's game startup screen (as you can see with your Alt+Tab).  It's basically a 'black sheet' to hide all goings' ons' while the game loads.

If you launch the game, then wait a little (30 seconds?) before pausing, does it do the same thing when you un-pause?

If you run your emulator fullscreen, does it do the same thing?

Thanks for your replay JoeViking245

I've managed to fix the issue by writing a "Resume Script" for duckstation, 

I'm starting the duckstation as fullscreen, the issue when I resume the game from the pause screen i have that black screen and as you mentioned it was the "startup screen",

the issue even if I waited forever to pause and then I hit the resume button, I got the same black screen and when using  (Alt+Tab) the game exiting, 

it's my first time writing autohotkey scripts and it works, Yay!

;Duckstation Resume Script
WinExist("ahk_exe duckstation-qt-x64-ReleaseLTCG.exe")
WinActivate ; Use the window found by WinExist.
Send {F12}  ; Where F12 is fullscreen toggle button on Duckstation

by the way "F12" is my fullscreen toggle button on Duckstation
