The screen displays intermittent flickering around every five seconds following the update of the latest NVIDIA drivers.
I've set up the latest NVIDIA driver and restarted the computer. Now, when I use the PC, my monitor often flickers, especially when launching Chrome or playing videos in Windows Player. Occasionally, I encounter errors like the application being blocked from accessing graphics or glitches appearing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver with a clean install, but it doesn't fully resolve the issue. Changing the performance management in 3D settings (NVIDIA Control Panel) to "Performance" helps reduce flickering, though it doesn't eliminate it completely. The BIOS version is LENOVO GKCN50WW, released on 11/24/2021. Drivers installed: 531.79; I attempted to revert to 531.68, but the video file DxDiag.txt remains.
I attempted to update multiple times using a clean install, even backing up to an older version, but it didn’t work. What does DDU refer to?
Start in safe mode for DDU to function correctly. Also, a user encountered problems with the newest Windows update. They reverted it and the problem disappeared. It could be a good idea to try.
I believed it fixed my issue since reinstalling with DDU stopped the problem temporarily, but after reinserting the USB mic it came back again. I tried various USB ports and still faced flickering, which stopped after the updates—previously it didn’t happen.
I located the answer online, if anyone requires: turn off hardware acceleration in Windows settings. Settings > Display > Graphics > Change Default graphics settings > Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling. Once noise suppression is disabled, everything functions smoothly and the system runs very well.
