Hi @CND0418M4H,

Welcome to HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

A flickering computer screen, on a laptop, can be incredibly frustrating, disrupting your work and entertainment. This common issue can stem from various causes, from outdated drivers to hardware problems. Fortunately, in many cases, you can resolve screen flickering without a trip to the repair shop. Let’s explore the reasons behind laptop screen flickering and how to fix it.

1. Update your display driver

Updating your display driver can often resolve flickering issues:
          1. Boot your PC in Safe Mode

          2. Open Device Manager, locate your display adapter and uninstall the device

          3. Restart your PC

          4. Let Windows automatically install the latest driver, or manually download and install it
 

2. Check for Windows updates

Ensure your Windows operating system is up-to-date:

         1. Go to Settings > Update & Security

         2. Click “Check for updates”

         3. Install any available updates
 

3. Adjust the refresh rate

If you’re using an external monitor, try adjusting the screen refresh rate to enhance display stability and resolve flickering issues:

         1. Right-click on your desktop and select “Display settings”

         2. Scroll down and click “Advanced display settings”

         3. Click “Display adapter properties”

         4. Go to the “Monitor” tab and adjust the refresh rate
 

4. Disable Windows Desktop Manager

In some cases, disabling Windows Desktop Manager can help:

        1. Press Windows key + R, type “services.msc” and press Enter

        2. Find “Desktop Window Manager Session Manager”

        3. Right-click and select “Stop”

        4. Set the Startup type to “Disabled”
 

5. Check for loose connections

If you’re comfortable opening your laptop, check for loose internal connections. If not, it’s best to consult a professional technician.

6. Run the Windows troubleshooter

Windows has a built-in troubleshooter that can help identify and troubleshoot screen flickering issues:

        1. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot

        2. Select “Display quality” and run the troubleshooter
