    Monitor Won't Stop Flickering The Forest Game Overlay


    At first it was only after i died in the forest, but not it is permanent. Happens from startup to running. Happens when unplugged too (the "There is no signal" message flickers)

    Because of these latter details, i find it hard to believe that it is the game that ruined my monitor/computer.

    another thing my computer does now is when i open folders, my mouse jumps back and forth between loading mouse and regular mouse before opening.

    checked my drives and neither of them had errors

    The Forest ****ed Up My Computer - YouTube

    any ideas? is my monitor trashed?

    :)

    windows 10 creators build loses desktop icon overlays on 2nd monitor

    I have 2 monitors.

    After upgrading to windows 10 creators build the icon overlay for shortcuts on my desktop are missing from the 2nd screen.

    If I move a shortcut from the 1st monitor to the 2nd it still shows the overlay, after I press F5 it loses the overlay, moving it back to the 1st restores the overlay.

    My screen is flickering after upgrading to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709

    It's not a monitor issue (at least not for most of us, I can't speak for your situation) - there's no flicker in Linux on the same system, so it's clearly a software and not hardware issue. The frustration is until Microsoft recognise the problem (and stop
    just offering the same generic advice they seem to on every thread) then things won't move forward and be resolved!
