    Flickering screen


    Hi all,

    I hope everyone's well and safe.

    I have an Acer laptop, about 2 years old, doesn't get used much, but my son has played a few online games and downloaded Roblox and Fortnite.

    Recently, the screen flickers when I access the internet and doesn't allow me to do anything.

    This happens only when i access the internet and if I'm not using the internet, i don't have this problem. The machine has a mind of its own, and its unpredictable as to when it will flicker. So sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

    Please help and thanks in advance.

    :)

    Screen flickering in Windows 10 safe mode

    I haven't made any changes on my device. This screen flickering is only happening in Safe Mode.

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your query. I suggest you to follow the steps to get out of safe mode.


    • Press Windows key + R

    • Type msconfig

    • In msconfig > Boot tab >
      Boot Options > uncheck Safe Boot > APPLY / OK.

    Screen flickering in Windows 10 is usually caused by incompatible apps or display drivers. I suggest you to refer to the article below and check if it helps.
