Windows 10: Monitor goes wild after windows 10 update

Just updated windows 10, after reboot, every 20 minutes the monitor goes completely crazy, it's not just flashing, the sound is a loud buzzing, criss cross lines across the screen, mouse and keyboard unusable, can barely see what's on the screen. It makes you jump up, due to the noise and wild flashing, only option is to long press the power button on the desktop to switch it off. I found driver updates for the old 2016 monitor, updated. Made no difference, 20 minutes later it happened again. Pressed the power button to switch off, the got a blue screen with' DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS...... Dxgmm

Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

The recent Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (KB3213986) cripples multi-monitor gaming, looking at the way Microsoft worded its "known issues" text. After the update is applied, users with multi-monitor setups could experience screen stuttering or clipped screens when running 3D apps on machines with more than one monitor. The only workaround Microsoft suggests for now entails running your 3D apps in non-fullscreen modes, such as windowed-maximized (pseudo-fullscreen) or windowed modes. Microsoft also goes as far as to suggest that people with multi-monitors could try starting their 3D apps with just one monitor connected.

"Users may experience delayed or clipped screens while running 3D rendering apps (such as games) on systems with more than one monitor," the change-log for the KB3213986 update reads. "To work around this issue please consider the following options: 1. Running the application in Windows mode (not full screen), or 2. Starting the application with only one monitor connected," it adds. The update effectively cripples multi-monitor gaming, using technologies such as AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround.
