Hi @5CD0460J0S 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Screen flickering after a Windows update can be frustrating, but it’s often caused by display driver conflicts, refresh rate issues, or software bugs. Here’s how to fix it:

 

Update or Roll Back Display Drivers

  • Open Device Manager (Win + X → Device Manager).
  • Expand Display Adapters, right-click your GPU, and select Update driverSearch automatically.
  • If the issue started after an update, try rolling back the driver:
    • Right-click the GPU → PropertiesDriver tab → Roll Back Driver.

 

Adjust Refresh Rate

  • Go to SettingsSystemDisplayAdvanced Display Settings.
  • Ensure the refresh rate is set to the recommended value (usually 60Hz or higher).

 

Boot in Safe Mode & Uninstall Problematic Updates

  • Restart your PC and press F8 or Shift + Restart to enter Safe Mode.
  • Go to SettingsWindows UpdateView update historyUninstall updates.
  • Remove the most recent update that may have caused the issue.
