    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to screen flickering after the update.

    Troubleshoot screen flickering in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Here are some steps you can take:

    1. Task Manager

    • Open Task Manager, observe if Task Manager itself flickers. If it does, the issue is likely related to your display driver or an incompatible app.

    1. Update Display Driver

    • Press Win + X and choose Device Manager.

    • Expand Display adapters, right-click your display adapter, and select Properties.

    • Go to the Driver tab and click Rollback Driver to revert to the previous version.

    • Alternatively, you can remove the drivers completely and install the latest ones available from the OEM or the manufacturer.

    1. App Compatibility Check

    • If Task Manager doesn’t flicker, it might be an incompatible app causing the issue.

    • Uninstall or update any recently installed apps that might be conflicting with the display.

    1. Restart Desktop Window Manager (DWM)

    Sometimes, the DWM process malfunctions and causes screen display issues.

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Locate Desktop Window Manager in the list of processes. Right-click it and choose Restart.

    Remember to restart your PC after making any changes. If the issue persists, consider uninstall that update as workaround. Hopefully, it can get your screen back to normal soon!

    Have a nice day. 

    Best Regards,

    Molly
