Windows 10: Windows 10 Screen Flashing on certain occasions.

Hello!

I don't know if my problem is hardware or software so I decided to post here.

I'm using Lenovo W540 20BG-S00200 with up-to-date drivers. OS - Win10
On certain occasions the screen is flashing

Here I'm pressing "." dot on my numpad in a folder. If I press a letter/number key and there is no file starting with that letter/number - it flashes.
Same results with On-Screen Keyboard and Bluetooth Keyboard I used this app on my phone. I don't know if that makes any difference but I wanted to know.

Another occasion is when I extract an archive. When the process finishes - screen flashes. I was curious to see if OBS will "catch" the flashing and it did.

I have recently installed the newest GPU driver from Lenovo's website, but the flashing didn't go away.


Any thoughts?

:)

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

My Screen keep flashing after updating to Windows 10 Version 17134

Hello Felicia,

A compatibility issue with Windows 10 April 2018 Update is a possible cause for the non-stop screen flashing issue. That being said, I will need more information to properly address your concern. Kindly answer the following questions.

• What is the make and model of your laptop?
• Is the issue isolated to using Google Chrome? Are you experiencing the flashing issue when using a different program?
• Are you getting any error messages?

For now, I suggest performing the troubleshooting steps outlined in this
forum
article. There's a possibility that your issue with Google Chrome is connected with the ongoing issue after installing
Windows 10 April 2018 Update. The steps provided by Lonnie_L will restart your display adapter driver.

Please respond back with the results.
