HP Omen 17 - Temporary screen flickering on full brightness

[csween86]

I have the same issue. Bought my Omen back in August 2017, so it’s over a year old now... It has always done this for me from the start, fresh out of the box. I always thought it was just the screen adjusting, or so to speak, “warming up” to the brightness. Beyond the initial light flicker that lasts the first 5 seconds after you turn up the brightness to the max, I have never had any issues.

Hey there! @csween86, Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!

I understand the screen is flickering when you increase the brightness to full on your laptop.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

Does the screen flicker on the BIOS page?

Please share the product number of your PC to assist you better.

Excellent description and a great diagnosis done. It is greatly appreciated.

Try updating the BIOS and graphics drivers on your PC and check if it helps. You can update the drivers on your PC using HP support assistant.

Try the steps recommended below.

• Go to Start Menu > click on Settings.
• Type performance > choose to Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.
• In the new window, go to the Visual Effects and select Adjust for best performance.
• click Apply and Ok...this should do the trick.

Also, Hit Win Key + R
Type in “Regedit” and then hit Enter.
Go to ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management’
Find ‘ClearPageFileAtShutDown’ and change its value to 1
Restart the computer

Also, try the steps recommended below.

In Windows, search for Command Prompt. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. Then click Yes.
In Command Prompt, type sfc /scannow. Make sure to include the space between sfc and the /.
Press Enter and wait while System File Checker scans for corrupted files.
When scanning is complete, the results are displayed on the screen.
If the file checker found and replaced any corrupted files, restart the computer and check the performance.
If the file checker did not find any corrupted files or found corrupted files but could not replace them, go to the next step.
If System File Checker finds corrupted files but cannot replace them, use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. DISM checks the corrupted files; then downloads and replaces the files using Windows Update.
In Windows, open a web browser.
   NOTE:
You need to be connected to the Internet to use DISM.
In Windows, search for Command Prompt. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. Then click Yes.
In Command Prompt, type dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth. Make sure to include the space before each / in the command line.
Press Enter and wait while DISM works. This might take several minutes.
If DISM finds corrupted files, it replaces them using Windows Update. If this occurs, after DISM is finished, restart your computer and see if the performance has improved.

Also, try the steps recommended below.

Go to control panel > power safe options > customize any combination you currently have > advanced options > processor power safe > minimum level. Change it to 40% and click apply.

Also go to Control Panel > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power settings

Select everything in the list to high-performance mode.

If the issue still persists after trying out the steps try running a system diagnostics test on your PC and check if the hardware components on your PC are functioning correctly.

Lastly, if the screen is flickering on the BIOS page. It is a hardware issue with your PC.

Let me know how it goes!

Have a great day! 🙂
