Windows 10: Clean install issue (Very minor flickering)

So, I've recently clean installed my laptop using Windows 10 1809 due to it getting screwed up after a Windows 10 feature update. Everything is running smoothly except for three things. One is that whenever I boot up the laptop the Dragon Center (MSI Utility) icon will quickly flash on the task bar for a split second and then disappear after the icons loads to the hidden icons section (I'm still able to use the dragon center and it runs fine) and the other is that when I first boot up and click on the type here to search bar it flickers and when i type something in it also flickers. It only flickers once when performing both actions and after that everything is fine, but it bothers me. Is there any way to fix this or is this normal Windows 10 behavior? All of my graphics drivers are up to date. I've performed numerous clean installs to fix this but the problem persists. It's the same issue with whenever I delete a file on the desktop the taskbar icons will flicker each time (Unless I right click on the recycle bin and select don't move files to the recycle bin. Remove files immediately when being deleted). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

Flickering issue

Hi,

App compatibility or driver related issues are some of the reasons which can cause your screen to flicker when in full screen mode. To isolate your concern, we suggest that you replicate the issue while in the clean boot environment. To perform clean boot,
you can follow the steps provided on this
support article. If the program runs correctly, proceed with the How to determine what is causing the issue by performing a clean boot topic to rule out issues caused by application or service
interference.
