    Edit: It's blinking not flickering! Sorry for my poor vocab.


    Hi I'm having this problem that at random times, some part of the screen just blinks into black and back to normal. It's happening to random parts of the screen, usually vertically slices of the screen, and it's Windows 10 specific since I can confirm such do not happen under Ubuntu 18.0.4 LTS on the same machine.

    Not sure if it's related but when I typed Chinese with the default Pinyin input method, the blinking happen with considerablly higher frequency, while with usual use it's very occassional.

    Does anyone know if this problem is common and how can it be fixed?

    :)

    blinking desktop

    Hi, if you are still around, here is my ? Dell PC Desktop Windows 10. A" blink" started occurring last week. The screen goes blank, I hit the mouse and the screen returns. I thought it was the A/C going on, but it happened today with no A/C other lights
    or appliances going on off at that moment. Do you have a suggestion?

    Windows 10 Desktop Blinking

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
