    Flickering secondary monitor since the Intel update.

    gpu artifacts

    details: two monitors at dfiferent refresh rates... it goes black for a moment, comes back, sometimes teh windows jump to teh main screen... ive rebooted plenty, id love a checklist rather than random tips, since Ive already tried random tips. I have about an hour tonight to test things, and I would rather go throguh them in a sensible order... tell me what u would check first and I will report back with results. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    turn off variable refresh (G-Sync/FreeSync/Adaptive Sync) on teh secondary monitor and in the driver control panel as a test. VRR on a desktop screen with video playing is a classic flicker trigger. lmk how it goes

    hmmm start with refresh rates. Mixed refresh setups are sensitive to driver changes. In Settings > System > Display > Advanced display, set both screens to standard rates first (for example both at 60 Hz) and see if teh flicker stops. Then raise them one at a time. lmk how it goes

    lol same thing happened to me if the windows jump to teh main screen, the monitor is atcually disconnecting. thats link training, which can be cable quality, DisplayPort sleep or teh dock. try a certified cable and disable the monitors own deep sleep/auto input switching.
