Win10 video flicker, part 2 (& 2.5 w/ fix)
-
There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. We fruggin PWN you!

So - after a major cogitation session of your link's explanation, I determined that OWN would have been more like it, anyway. A strong word is only as strong as it is generally understood. The alternative "we BONE you" would also work . . .

I previously reported (The Lounge[^]) that the Win10 Anniversary Edition update makes my i7, 8GB laptop with touchscreen running Intel graphics flicker like crazy. Today, it has literally turned entirely black for 15 seconds or more before it finally re-draws. It's terrible. I started thinking about refresh rates, screen resolution and the rest and started screwing with the settings in the graphics options. Custom Resolutions I'm normally at 1366 x 768 but I decided to switch it. It does seem like a lower resolution makes it not happen as much. That started me thinking. when I go to Custom Resolutions it warns me that being at some resolution not expected by the manufacturer could cause my screen and/or graphics hw to have a shortened life. :confused: I know that pushing a monitor to refresh at abnormal speeds might be bad. But my point now is this... ...Doesn't allthis flickering mean that the drivers are doing bad things to my h/w too? And doesn't that mean that Microsoft would have some responsibility in the shortened life of my h/w? I suppose Satya Nadella will be calling me at any moment? :laugh: :laugh: Edit : Part 2.5 I found an article on MakeUseOf.com that explained how to roll back my driver. How to Fix the Windows 10 Screen Flashing Problem[^] Here's a pic of my driver info that works Intel 4600 driver from 2015[^] Basically boot into safe mode Start device manager Right click the display adapter Choose the rollback driver option It went back to 2015 version and I rebooted. Now I'm in Win10 and NO MORE FLICKER!!! W00t!!! Can't believe it. Hope win10 doesnt' update it again :(

I assume you read this: Because Windows 10 has mandatory updates, you now need to head to Microsoft’s support page to download a tool to stop the system automatically updating your driver – you can disable this when you know that the newest driver has patched the screen flicker problem. Crazy. Download a piece of software to prevent the OS from downloading new stuff that is broken. :laugh: Marc

Weird, it was just the other way around for me. Ever since I got windows 10 ( August 2015 ) ,my second monitor (driven by an intel 4600) was acting up: after every reboot I had to disable/enable it using device manager to get it to show anything. Since the Anniversary update it starts up okay now after a reboot. I guess microsoft is aiming for divine status but we could do with a bit less of the mysterious ways stuff.

Wow. Everything is upside down with Win10, I guess.

I did read that, but I am just hoping (hope unfulfilled is just an empty promise) that it won't update it. Yeah, it's totally crazy that you have to download software that tells it not to update. Like putting a lock on your door so it doesn't lock.

Microsoft may be pushing the driver on their own site, but they didn't write it--it's still (in your case) Intel's.

Good point. Well, then, Intel owes me!!! I just know that some big corp owes me millions of $$$. :laugh: Pain and flickering and all that.
