Hi all,
I recently had an issue with my HP laptop giving me a flickering screen at startup and would only clear after a restart. Restarts did not give this issue. It only happened after a full shutdown then starting up again. After seeing a multitude of posts regarding this same issue and many having inconclusive results, I looked down the line of - what is different between a boot up from completely off and a restart. I found that from cold, Windows 11 does a "Fast startup" and from a restart it does a normal startup. You can switch off this fast startup and it worked for me. To do this -

1) Open up Control Panel
2) Select "Hardware and Sound"
3) Select "Power Options"

4) Select "Choose what the power buttons do"

5) Unselect "Turn on fast start-up".  To do this you may have to click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable"

6) Click "Save changes"

7) Shut down completely and then switch on again. Hopefully no flickering this time. 

Good luck folks
