windows 11 screen flickering

Question

I can't find anything to help me. someone please help.

whenever i load a game, my screens will flash blue for a second and i have to re click on the game in order to interact with it. it does this every 30 secs until i close the game. no matter what game it is no matter what I update it still does it. the only way for it to not do it is if i reinstall windows 11. but then my PC will crash and auto update and i have to redo the entire process. Its not my graphics card because i just swapped it for a 3070TI from a 3060. The nvidia drivers have been updated and rolled back to a later update. the only temporary fix ive found is to restart windows explorer about 5 times.

I also cant access my taskbar without hitting windows key and waiting 25 seconds for it to pop up.

someone please help me

Answer 1

I have run the sfc and dism checks and it says nothings wrong and it doesn’t fix anything. Safe mode and clean boot don’t do anything either. It’s a custom build

5800x

3070ti

Corsair memory 3200mhz

Hey there Raven!

My name is Miguel Ángel and I'm an independent advisor, also a Microsoft user just like you! I'll try to help you today with your issue.

Could you please tell me what is your device model? I feel like there's something wrong, and it may be an incompatibility.

Have you already run a SFC and DISM check? Have you tried if the issue persists in Safe Mode or Clean Boot?

I'll wait for your reply! Don't worry, everything will be okay :)

Answer 3

Well i figured out what the problem is but i have no idea on how to fix it. My windows explorer fails anytime i open an app and it continues to fail even after i close it. this is what i have as far as the crash report. i have 255 of these over 4 hours.
