Hi Jaeyoungkim3! My name is David. I am a user of Microsoft products like you, and it is a pleasure to greet you.

Flickering issues can be caused by various factors, including graphics driver issues, hardware acceleration settings, or browser extensions. Let's try a few steps to fix this:

1. Sometimes, disabling hardware acceleration can resolve flickering issues. Here’s how:

• Open Microsoft Edge.
• Click on the three dots in the top right corner to access the menu.
• Select "Settings."
• Go to "System and performance."
• Toggle off "Use hardware acceleration when available."
• Restart Edge and check if the issue persists.

2. Ensure Microsoft Edge is updated to the latest version. You can do this by going to Edge's menu > Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge. The browser will automatically check for and install any available updates.
3. Try disabling all extensions in Edge to see if this resolves the flickering issue. If it does, enable them one by one to identify the problematic extension.
4. If none of the above solutions work, you might consider resetting Microsoft Edge. Note that this will clear your bookmarks, history, and settings.

• Go to Edge settings > Reset settings.
• Select "Restore settings to their default values."

Let me know if the shared information has been helpful. Regards.

DavidSanchez01,

Thank you for your help! Excellent!

However, I did the following:

Toggle off "Use graphics acceleration when available”.

"graphics" not "hardware".
