@tish54, Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding flickering screen!  
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

For your HP Spectre x360 with screen flickering, here's a troubleshooting guide you can follow:

Check Display Settings:

• Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.
• Scroll down and click on Advanced display settings.
• Ensure your screen refresh rate is set to the recommended value (usually 60Hz or higher).

Update Graphics Drivers:

• Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
• Expand the Display adapters section.
• Right-click on your graphics driver and select Update driver.
• Choose Search automatically for updated driver software.

Adjust Power Settings:

• Go to Control Panel > Power Options.
• Select High performance to avoid any power-saving features that might cause flickering.

Disable Hardware Acceleration:

• If you notice flickering while using specific apps (like Chrome), try disabling hardware acceleration.
• For Chrome: Go to Settings > Advanced > System and turn off Use hardware acceleration when available.

Perform a System Update:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.

Check for External Interference:

• If you're using external displays or USB devices, disconnect them to rule out any interference.

Test in Safe Mode:

• Boot the laptop in Safe Mode to see if the flickering persists. If it doesn’t, the issue might be with a third-party application or driver.

Let me know if you need help with any of these steps. 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
