Windows 10: Flickering external monitor on particular programs

This isn't a question but for everybody else's information I thought this might be useful. I've been having an issue where when opening certain applications on windows would cause my external monitor to flicker I am on a gaming laptop, after some some playing around I found the problem to be with hardware acceleration enabled programs so if your running into a similar issue disable hardware acceleration on the specific program. But say this isn't possible as for something like Microsoft 365 where there isn't any setting for disabling it you can try going into bios and disabling hybrid graphi

External Monitor blinks and flickers

I have a YOGA 900 connecting to external monitor through c port to HDMI adapter--external monitor screen blinks on and off and flickers. I have tried disconnecting all cables holding power button down for one minute with no change. Is this a setting, a
windows 10 issue, an adapter issue, or what?

 

Monitor Dim and Flickers

I have a new Dell Inspiron 3668 cpu and running it with my old Dell ST2010 I have run the windows "troubleshoot screen flickering in Windows 10" from Windows help. When I go to task Mngr. it still flickers. So, I uninstalled the display driver as suggested
and then ran the "Check for updates". The problem still remains. Any further suggestions?? My next step is to just replace the monitor and assume Windows 10 will not run it!
