Windows 10: Windows 11 update causing severe screen flickering and display issues on MSI laptops with...

I had to factory reset it because nothing worked. And again it wants more updates from me

:)

 

Screen starts to flicker after logging in for a while

Hello

This is an entirely new issue. My screen starts to flicker after logging in/turning on computer for a while, and/or if I launch an app that uses my Nvidia card (my laptop has Optimus), I'm not exactly sure which of these two causes it. For the first while after a restart, the screen appears fine. The flickering appears on desktop background + internet browser as well, so I'm pretty sure it's not a program compatibility issue. The flickering is not severe (the type that looks like horizontal bars sliding up) but it's an annoyance.

Tried:

• Disabling Windows error reporting + problem reporting service in msconfig
• Restart computer
• Resetting Nvidia global settings to default in Nvidia control panel
• Checking for display drive updates in device manager (all up to date)
• Checking monitor refresh rate (60Hz, can't be changed)

Laptop I'm using:

• i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz
• 1900x1080
• Intel HD 4600 + Nvidia GT750M

Thanks for suggestions.

 

Display Color Calibration NOT WORKING + Light Flickering Screen: Acer Aspire 5/Windows 11

Hi, average_windows_user

Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



I understand that it can be frustrating to experience display color calibration issues and screen flickering on your new Acer laptop running Windows 11. Let's troubleshoot these issues step by step:

Display Color Calibration Issue:

1. Check Night Light Settings: Make sure that the Night Light feature in Windows 11 is turned off. The Night Light feature can cause a yellow tint on the display, and disabling it may improve the color balance.
   
2. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest drivers for your specific model.
   
3. Reset Color Profile: Try resetting the color profile to its default settings. To do this, go to Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings > Color calibration. Click "Reset calibration" to reset the color profile to its default settings.
   
4. Hardware Calibration: If the issue persists, it's possible that there may be a hardware-related problem with the display. Contact Acer support to inquire about hardware calibration or potential display issues.
   

Screen Flickering Issue:

1. Adjust Refresh Rate: Open the Display settings in Windows 11 and ensure that the refresh rate is set to the recommended value for your display. Setting it to a lower or higher value than recommended can cause screen flickering.
   
2. Disable Adaptive Brightness: Disable adaptive brightness in Windows 11. This feature can sometimes cause screen flickering. Go to Settings > System > Display, and turn off "Change brightness automatically when lighting changes."
   
3. Check for Driver Updates: In addition to graphics drivers, make sure that all other device drivers, especially display and chipset drivers, are up to date. Visit Acer's official website to download and install the latest drivers for your laptop.
   
4. Run Hardware Diagnostics: Use Acer's built-in hardware diagnostic tools to check for any hardware issues related to the display.
   

If the issues persist after trying these steps, I recommend reaching out to Acer support for assistance. They may be able to provide more specific guidance based on the nature of the issues and your laptop model.
