Windows 10: Screen flicking when in Browser

OK so lets just start off with the specs:I've currently got a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming that I purchased in 2017 running with Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050ti I mostly use a desktop pc, so I haven't had to use this laptop for a while and it's mostly been sitting away in the cupboard for half the year. But at the moment I'm working remotely so I need the use of my laptop and there seems to be this issue that no matter what browser I'm on, whether it be chrome/edge or what I currently use Opera Gx, the screen randomly flickers whenever I move my mouse.

Missing Flicks Tab

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Follow the steps below to disable flicks.

• Open control panel by searching on the start menu.
  
• Change View type to Small icons.
  
• Click on Pen and Touch.
  
• Under Flicks tab uncheck

Disable Flicks Gesture in Windows 10.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand the difficulties you are facing with the Flicks Gesture in Windows on your Edge browser. We appreciate your effort in troubleshooting the issue and thanks for providing us the detail information in the post. To have a clarity on this
issue, we need some information.

• What is the Windows version and build installed?
• What is the make and model of the PC?
  
• Do you have the Ink feature enabled in the PC?
  
• Are you looking to disable the Flicks Gesture option completely from the PC or just for Microsoft Edge?

If you are using Ink feature option and you are in
Windows 10, then we would suggest you to disable the
Ink feature and check if that helps you to solve the problem.

However, we would suggest you to change the registry settings for the Flicks Gesture.

Registry disclaimer: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/322756/how-to-back-up-and-restore-the-registry-in-windows

1. Press Windows + R and type
   regedit.
   
2. Navigate to this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Wisp\Pen\SysEventParameters
   
3. Once you click on SysEventParameters and then on Right pane you need to click
   FlickMode and change the Hexadecimal value to
   3 and click Ok.
   
4. Restart the PC and check if you are able to disable it.

We await your response.
