  3. oof if none of that helps, roll back to the previous driver to confirm... if the flicker disappears, report it with your exact setup to the ASUS feedback channel and stay on the older driver for now. lmk how it goes

  4. If the windows jump to teh main screen, the monitor is actually disconnecting. Thats link training, which can be cable quality, DisplayPort sleep or the dock. Try a certified cable and disable the monitors own deep sleep/auto input switching. worked for me anyway 🤷

  5. in Settings > System > Display > Graphics > Change default graphics settings, try toggling Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and Variable refresh rate (teh Windows one), then reboot.

  6. nah tbh windows jumping screens points more at the cable or monitor sleep than the driver, in my experience. Id test that before rolling back.
