This is the first time I’ve encountered this problem.

After the new windows update, I cannot access the computer as it is blurry and flickers in between as it is working.

Please help

Works great, Shawn! Thanks.

*tip Quick check for results of changing the blur off/on. WIN+L to lock the machine. Click/Tap screen to sign back in. Blur effect should be what you expect from your change.
