Windows 10: Program Window Flickering and Artifacting

Hey,I recently started having issues with a few programs, not all but a few, where the screens or contents in the program windows would start flickering. Basically, it happens whenever and can get really bad, in some cases making the program completely useless.I've attached a YouTube link below for an example of the issue. You can't really see it in effect as much, but look closely to the playback progress bar. It does that like so and on a larger scale.https://youtu.be/pfvpXHQVNLA
