Windows 10: Screen(s) flickering after performing and applying windows color calibration.

So here is the situation. My setup is simple: a BenQ monitor hooked up to a 2016 laptop over HDMI; i use both the laptop display and monitor in my work. I noticed that the monitor filtered out a lot of the blue light coming from it (with no way to turn the feature off for some reason) so i performed a color calibration to correct the colors on that monitor. Then, to make my two displays match as closely as possible, i performed the same calibration on my laptop display. The app i used was the standard "calibrate display color" function in the control panel.

Ever since i applied the calibration, both displays seem to flicker randomly, seemingly when there is some task occuring in the background. Sometimes, the displays flicker black but most of the time, the displays flicker to their original, pre-calibrated, colors and then back to the calibrated state (i can tell because the monitor color becomes warm for a few moments). This leads me to believe that there is some problem in the display calibration being applied properly or the video drivers refreshing. Is there a fix for this? Its mildly annoying but i guess i'll live with it haha.
