Is there a problem with strange stuff happening in video files that have a special label called "windowed"?

Specifically, Edge is showing up on YouTube and recently also found the Steam app doing the same thing. If the video is set to its usual small size in Steam, you will see a strange blinking flicker around the edges of the tab or window. Switching to full screen clears that problem right away. Usually, when I move my mouse over the video, these glitches disappear for a split second and then come back a few seconds later. On YouTube, if I turn off hardware acceleration, it stops working. I haven't been able to stop this in Steam unless I switch to full screen mode. There is no problem with games, Netflix, Amazon Prime, or other players; just not anything else. I can't figure out why this started at any particular update level. I have the newest graphics drivers for my 3070 card and the latest public updates on Windows 11, nothing beta or special. Is anyone else having this issue? It happened recently, like last week or so.
Same thing happened when I added a second monitor to my setup recently. While playing CSGO, everything stopped working. Suddenly, there were blinking lights and stuttering. I looked around online and learned that updating the drivers would fix it. After I updated them and tried on fullscreen mode, it was all good again. You could also try going back to older drivers just in case.
I took this into account. I can't be 100% sure the new drivers made things worse, but something happened around the time I upgraded to the very latest version. Just using the most recent driver didn't seem to fix anything.
