Windows 10: Blinking screen, not enough to be descriptive.

Hi,

1] Was in the process of deleting images from a 2003 word.doc. 2] All of a sudden the screen started blinking around the edges. 3] A small WIN icon appeared on the task bar alternating with the above blinking. 4] With each blink a small green image appeared for a micro second on the upper left of screen that looked like green image when copying a file??

Reset the PC & rebooted, all seemed OK.

I'm a little confused as PC seems to work ok now.

Regards,
