I have tried restore, safe mode, full restoration, clean install, - all fail. I understand that many dragonfly users have had this exeprience after the April windows update. Is there a workaround? Is there a new windows for clean install - I downloaded June 25.

    Hi David,

    Hi, I'm Sumit, here to help with your query on the Microsoft Q&A forums. Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. I am happy to help you today.

    I don't think there is a widespread known issue with the Intel display driver.

    By any Chance, did you run HP Diagnostics? Run it outside the Operating System:

    Please run the tests in the Display and let me know.
