Visual glitch

Help! My friends pc (newly rebuilt) is having problems with a visual and a microphone glitch. The only way to describe the visual glitch is a weird screen tear on applications (video included), the glitch doesn’t happen on in game but only in certain applications (steam, discord, etc.) and usually when you scroll on something. Here’s the video-https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/735590958141407332/926219243731693598/IMG_0653.mov

 

PC Blue screens after opening Valorant, programs freeze after wake

I have 2 problems:

1. My computer has blue screens every time I launch Valorant for the first time.
   
   • Since my computer has been freezing, I've shut it down whenever I leave my desk.
     
   • After launching Valorant, my computer's blue screens
     
   • When I restart, Valorant launches normally for the rest of that session
     
   • Once I shut my computer down manually, Valorant BSODs me on the next open
     
2. My computer ALWAYS freezes after waking up from sleep or hibernation. My mouse can still move, all programs are frozen, however. Oddly enough, I can still pause/resume my music on Spotify and hear it. It seems like every program doesn't update the visuals only. I also disconnect from any discord call. To prevent this, I have to shut down my PC.
   

Some things I have already tried:

• Powershell commands
  
• Editing my power plan
  
• Restarting
  
• Downloading windows updates
  
• Using windows troubleshooter
  
• Turning off hardware acceleration
  

Please help! This has been annoying me since early last year, and it's getting worse. I will try every method that you suggest, please reply if I ask for clarification!

 

[Windows 11] Visual glitch when highlighting a file in File Explorer

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

Given the steps you've already taken, it seems you've covered the common troubleshooting methods. Since you're on a Windows Insider Beta version (22635.3646 ni_release), the issue might be related to that specific build. Insider builds can sometimes introduce issues as they include features and changes that are still being tested. Here are a few additional steps you might consider:

1. Check for Insider Updates

• Even though you've installed the latest updates, check again for any new Windows Insider updates. Sometimes, issues are quickly identified and addressed in subsequent builds.
  
  • Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for updates.
    

2. Feedback Hub

• Use the Feedback Hub app to report the issue. Microsoft often monitors feedback for bugs, especially in Insider builds. Microsoft attaches great importance to user experience, you can submit your ideas and suggestions through the Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app - Microsoft Support, and the development team will regularly review submissions for ideas or fixes.
  
  Please share the feedback link here after submitting as it will allow others on the forum to vote for your submission, including me. More votes will lead to more visibility and higher priority to the development team.
  

3. Graphic Settings and Drivers

• Since you've updated your Nvidia drivers, consider tweaking Nvidia Control Panel settings or even rolling back to a previous driver version to see if that resolves the issue.
  
  • Right-click on the desktop and select Nvidia Control Panel.
    
  • Experiment with the Adjust image settings with preview option. Sometimes, letting the 3D application decide can resolve visual glitches.
    
  • To roll back a driver, go to Device Manager > Display adapters > right-click your Nvidia graphics card > Properties > Driver tab > Roll Back Driver (if available).
    

4. Disable Hardware Acceleration

• Some applications, including File Explorer, can experience visual glitches due to hardware acceleration.
  
  • This setting might not be directly available for File Explorer, but disabling hardware acceleration in applications you have running in the background (like web browsers) might indirectly resolve the issue.
    

5. New User Profile

• Sometimes, the issue might be related to your user profile. Creating a new user profile can help determine if the glitch is specific to your current profile.
  
  • Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users > Add someone else to this PC and follow the prompts to create a new account.
    
  • Log in with the new account and check if the issue persists.
    

6. Safe Mode

• Booting into Safe Mode can help you determine if the issue is caused by third-party software or drivers.
  
  • Press Win + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
    
  • In the System Configuration window, go to the Boot tab, check Safe boot under Boot options, select Minimal, and restart your computer.
    
  • Check if the problem occurs in Safe Mode. If it doesn't, it's likely a third-party application or non-Microsoft service causing the issue.
    

7. Wait for the Next Build

• If none of the above steps work, and the glitch isn't too disruptive, you might consider waiting for the next Insider build. Insider issues can sometimes be ephemeral, getting resolved in future updates.
  

Using Insider builds always comes with the risk of encountering issues. Reporting the issue and providing feedback is the best way to help Microsoft identify and fix these problems in future releases.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
