Fuzzy display that goes away if text is selected or refreshed

Hello,
I have a strange issue, this started about a week ago after Creators' update. I have the system to auto-update all software and features from Microsoft. All drivers are up to date. I have manually installed the latest display driver for this laptop.
Issue:

• When I have many windows open, the display crumbles only in selected parts of the screen as shown in the attached picture.
• This flickering doesn't happen in safe mode (with networking).
• Doesn't happen with a live USB linux session either.
• This is reversed upon selecting the text (for example in a webpage or a word processor document).

System specs: Windows 10, founders update. Intel 4 series express chipset (Centrino processor) with 5gb of ram running windows 10 creators update.










Solutions tried so far with no success:

• Text scaling and DPI scaling,
• installing various drivers including Windows 7 drivers for this display,
• Going to safe mode, uninstalling the driver and deleting it and restarting,
• uninstalling most of the programs and features (except MS office and a few other essentials)

Can anybody help please?
thanks and best regards
Raghu

 

Display brightness after Creators Update

Sorry, but do you read the previous comments here?

As I wrote some days ago:

All the settings are as I want them to be: Advanced power plan with 100% brightness, disabled adaptive brightness.

But after each reboot, Windows just forgets this settings.

Brightness gets reset, adaptive brightness is turned back on each time.

Not helpful.
