    how to fix screen flickering in laptop under w10


    My laptop suffers from heavily screen fickering since undating to win 10 , although trying to fix the error in several method, but it is not done. so the whole win 10 to be uninstall deleting all personal files and apps. The result is :Screen flickering still flasing up and down. I thought this may be the refresh rate in the laptop is too low such that it can not match with microsoft driver which is default at 60Hz. At one time I find from the internal display driver which is only 1Hz, I dont know whether this is the difference of refresh rate different to cause the screen flickering, please a

    :)

    Flickering and blinking laptop screen

    I'm using a laptop with Windows 10 and an Intel HD Graphics 4600 display adaptor. A few days ago I attached a Dell D3000 dock to my laptop, and almost immediately my laptop screen started to flicker and repeatedly blink off and on again. I disconnected the dock, which did not resolve the problem, and since then I've tried various techniques to fix the problem, but none of them have worked. In order, this comprised of:

    1. attempting system restore - but all five restore points were corrupted (?!);
    2. updating the driver for the Intel display adaptor;
    3. rolling back the driver for the Intel display adaptor;
    4. uninstalling the driver for the Intel display adaptor;
    5. downloading Windows 10 from the Microsoft site and re-installing it.
    The problem has persisted even when I disconnected everything from my laptop, took it to my workplace, and switched it on there (using its battery for power); so the following possible reasons can be ruled out: its location in my house, any attached peripherals, a faulty power cable.

    I am certain the problem is in some way connected to the Intel HD Graphics 4600 display adaptor:
    1. after I completely uninstalled it - which reverted the graphics card to the standard Microsoft one - the screen didn't flicker or blink once afterwards (I left the laptop switched on for about an hour without incident, whereas previously I would experience as many as ten 'events' a minute). This rules out a possible damaged connection between the body of the laptop and its screen. However, when Windows auto-installs updates it reinstates the Intel one...
    2. ...and when the laptop is switched on the screen flickers and repeatedly blinks off and on again...
    3. ...although, strangely, connecting an external monitor to the laptop (HDMI to HDMI) results in neither the laptop screen nor the external monitor flickering or blinking. The problem returns when I disconnect the HDMI cable from the HDMI port on the laptop.
    I now have the inescapable feeling that when I attached the dock I somehow fried the Intel display adaptor, and it isn't possible to fix it: I have read in the forums that replacing the graphics card on a laptop is well-nigh impossible. But if anyone else can suggest an approach I haven't yet tried I'd be very receptive!

    As an aside, I contacted the retailer and they have sent me all of the drivers that are available for my system, but I don't know how to install them.

    Screen flickering on Dell laptop with Windows 10

    Hi all, I've recently started having screen flickering issues with my laptop.

    • Laptop's a few years old, but has had next to no issues previously.
    • It's not a damaged screen.
    • I wasn't having any issues until a few days ago. I haven't installed any new programs recently, the flickering just came out of no-where.
    • I'm not sure if the way it flickers matters, but the flickering is always black and blue, sometimes part of the screen, other times full-screen.
    • It flickers on any screen, including when booting up the laptop.
    • There's no viruses that have been detected by Malwarebytes or Avast.
    • When I ran Malwarebytes, the flickering was non-stop.
    • I tried fixing the issue by uninstalling the graphics drivers and updating them, but I've had my screen flicker a couple times since then.

    Based on what I've listed, what more could I try to fix this?

    Thanks for any help!

    how to fix screen flickering in laptop under w10

    Screen starts to flicker after logging in for a while

    Hello

    This is an entirely new issue. My screen starts to flicker after logging in/turning on computer for a while, and/or if I launch an app that uses my Nvidia card (my laptop has Optimus), I'm not exactly sure which of these two causes it. For the first while after a restart, the screen appears fine. The flickering appears on desktop background + internet browser as well, so I'm pretty sure it's not a program compatibility issue. The flickering is not severe (the type that looks like horizontal bars sliding up) but it's an annoyance.

    Tried:

    • Disabling Windows error reporting + problem reporting service in msconfig
    • Restart computer
    • Resetting Nvidia global settings to default in Nvidia control panel
    • Checking for display drive updates in device manager (all up to date)
    • Checking monitor refresh rate (60Hz, can't be changed)

    Laptop I'm using:

    • i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz
    • 1900x1080
    • Intel HD 4600 + Nvidia GT750M

    Thanks for suggestions.
