Hello all,

Does anyone have a solution to why when I scroll my screen goes from white to  pink, I can't stop noticing it.  I was watching you tube and when I scrolled down to read comments I could clearly see the pink fading in and out.

    The 11/2 update fixed the tint and flickering issue for me.. glad I gave it another chance buying the SP4 and installing the update.  The funny thing is when I did the update once the display driver still showed the old version and of course the tint issue remained. But doing the update again fixed it.

    Microsoft just released a firmware update that has fixed the problem for me. See:

    https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/install-update-activate/surface-pro-4-update-history?os=windows-10

    No more screen flickering or tint changing. The update should be titled System Firmware Update -11/2/2015.

    MODERATOR EDIT (11/3/2015): I marked this as the answer - thanks for the confirmation Jacob!  For those of you receiving "display adapter...stopped responding" errors on Surface Pro 4 please share here, a thread specific to that error...

    Split from this thread.

    Anyone know how to turn off the dynamic contrast (not brightness)? It's pretty annoying when scrolling through webpages and it changes from a grey background to a light pink one.

    Just got my Surface Pro 4 and noticed a bug where on white pages in forums and i've read this happening on Facebook app, where the hue is blue and when scrolling to a point then turns green, then further down turns purple. Scrolling back up does the same color changes in reverse. Sometimes I get the message display driver crashed and it says for Windows 8, I don't know why, and then it's normal. Then it'll happen again randomly.

    Yes, I have done day one firmware and all up to date on updates and restarted and rebooted.

    This behavior comes and goes and has been reported by several users in several threads below using a mix of both Surface Book and Surface Pro 4. I have an i5, others have i7's and are having issues with the dock too.

    Please get this to the correct people to get a fix asap as this will not be good for many new users.
