Windows 10: Display flickering problem

Hi there,

I am facing a critical problem in my asus laptop model no x412ua. I just purchased it recently. Everything is working fine and smooth in windows 10 except there are some flickering issue which persist.

I googled some information and found out that any incompatible apps or display driver problem may be the cause of the problem.

Later i used microsoft store to use the apps and my windows is updating regularly.

The display driver is also updated as of present date as showing in control panel / windows update.

Still, the display flickers sometimes for 1 to 2 seconds. and after that it came back to normal condition.

I am unable to find the cause of the problem.

Please, any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Partha


Note - OS version is 2004, build version is - 19041. 388

Display driver version - Intel HD graphics 620.

Desktop items open Libreoffice; windows bugged and flickering

My mother's PC had the most bizarre bug I've ever seen this morning.

PC specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit
Version: 1903 when problem occurred (1909 now)

What happened:

• all desktop items, including folders, opened in Libreoffice Writer; once open it displayed a blank document then began flickering as if it had bugged while scrolling
• opened Task Manager from the task bar, selecting the second tab opened the final tab, which began flickering like Libreoffice
• problems stopped after a restart, then occurred again after another restart; then stopped after the PC ran for a short time
• no error popups or BSODs
• she said Candycrush reported an error earlier but it didn't occur when I looked at it; she said it mentioned "something about the desktop"

Steps I've taken:

• did a quick virus scan then reboot scan with Windows Defender; no problems found
• sfc /scannow; no problems found
• installed update KB4537572 and upgraded system to 1909; updates appear to have been successful, no other updates available

At the moment the problem has disappeared, but since it reoccurred previously I'm not sure it hasn't been fixed.

I'm out of ideas. What else can I check and what other tests can I run? Based on the given information could anyone suggest what the problem might be?
