Windows 10: Windows screen flashing based on the color of personalization

Hi, I recently built a new computer and installed windows on it.


Whenever I turn on my computer, the screen briefly flashes the color of my personalization settings before going to the loading screen. The same happens when I press the sleep function on my computer.


To troubleshoot, I have tried:

1. 
   Changing the RAM I OCed the previous pair
   
   
2. 
   Booting windows up in safe mode
   
   
3. 
   Changing the HDMI cable
   
   
4. 
   Using a different monitor
   
   
5. 
   Using a different output from my GPU
   
   
6. 
   Uninstalling the latest windows update
   
   
7. 
   Doing a fresh install of windows on my SSD
   

However, the biggest break for me was that I realised that the flashing was linked to the theme color personalization settings that I had made.


I think it might be linked to the fact that the loading speed is fast so the computer jumps between screens really fast, but I am not too sure about this.


Right now, the only way that I can make it less noticable is to make my personalization theme a dark color so the contrast is not so great when the screen flashes, but that is a temporary fix.


Is there any way to fix this issue? Thanks in advance!
