Enable ‘Hidden files and folders’ on your PC. This allows you to see normally hidden files that you may need to access.

Navigate to this folder path:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\fnaf9\Saved\SaveGames%USERNAME% will be your Windows user account name.
Delete or remove the file
PlayerSettingsSlot.savfrom the folder.This will reset your in-game settings and clear any corrupted data. Your save files should be unaffected.
After following these steps, launch the gae again and see if the black screen issues are resolved. Resetting the settings file essentially gives the game a fresh slate to work with.
