Hello there,
My problem is that after latest kernel update (6.5 to 6.8) my display randomly switch black about 1-2 sec.
My device a HP Elitebook 840 G3. I use it with a Dell External monitor, with Displayport output.
i found these problem on ubuntu forum:
This is frustrating. First, kernel 6.5.0 removed the ability to adjust the screen brightness (my thread).
Now, kernel 6.8.0 blanks the screen for a second or two at apparently random times, anywhere between one second and several minutes between...
Yes, this Kernel makes here Issues, too. Are You using a Nvidia Graphic in Your Machine? Did You tried to go back to the 6.5 Kernel and use it?

No, i use Intel graphics. I dont try to revert kernel update, but it working without issue with 6.5 kernel before i update it.
You can select and boot a previous kernel generic (e.g. 6.5.*) by choosing "Advanced Options for Zorin" on the grub menu at startup. See if that helps. If so there are ways to hold onto that working kernel for now.

You don't need to revert the Kernel Update. Like @zabadabadoo wrote and explained, you can go to the GRUB Menu and chose there the older Kernel.
And when you want keep the Kernel, You could use this Guide:
You may need to use an earlier kernel than the current kernel used by Zorin. This method allows you to set the kernel that you will boot into by default.
To set the new kernel to default:
Boot into the kernel you wish to be Saved.
Open terminal and run:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
Hit enter to drop down a line.
Add GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
ctrl+x to exit, then the y key to say yes to save, then the enter key to save as current configuration.

it also fix it on 6.8 kernel:
Adding intel_iommu=igfx_off to /etc/default/grub resolved the issue for me too.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off"
