Windows 10: Graphical Issues since December Update

Hi there, I have been having graphical issues across Windows 11 since approximately December, 2024. I am using a Surface Laptop Studio Gen 1 11th Gen Intel i7-11370H TB SSD 36 GB Ram Nvida RTX 3050. Ever since updating in December, I have been sporadically experiencing the graphic/display issue shown in the following screenshot: The icons and other parts of the UI have this pixelation. This is not limited to Outlook, it also happens in Edge, Cubase 14, and others, but it happens most frequently with Outlook. I was hoping an update would solve it, but after several updates, I decide

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.
