Windows 10: Display keeps showing random colours

Whenever I open an app, my laptop screen shows random colours like in the image. The app keeps working, and when I try to screenshot the display from my laptop, I get the normal app appearance instead of the colours. To make it go away, I have to turn my laptop off and then on again, although sometimes it requires a full restart. Also, this usually happens when I open an app, but sometimes it can just happen out of nowhere.I have looked online for many solutions restarting, updating software/drivers, troubleshooters but nothing has worked.
