the following:

• Are you using a domain?
• Is your PC connected to a Windows Server PC?

taskbar flickering bar

I've had an ongoing problem for the past year or so, where a flickering line appears across the taskbar, usually after my laptop has been used for a prolonged period of time or has just come out of sleep mode (so is not continual). This flickering bar causes
the screen to flicker too and is altogether really irritating.

The issue seems to disappear when my graphics driver is uninstalled.

I have done the following:

- Checked and removed any apps which may be causing this

- Factory reset my laptop

- Updated my graphics driver

- Uninstalled then reinstalled graphics driver

I have been through the entire troubleshooting process with Intel (they installed different graphics driver etc), however, it reappears. They now suggest it may be a BIOS or hardware problem.

I'm looking for help as I am unsure how to proceed from here.
