Intel graphics driver causing screen flicker issue!

Hi!

I'm having a really big issue with screen flickering right now that appeared today all of a sudden. I'm not completely sure what's causing this, but I've noticed that if I inactivate/uninstall my intel graphics drivers the flickering immediately stops so I suspect the driver must cause it. I'm lost right now and really need help, I've tried uninstall&reinstall, I've tried installing different drivers, I've rebooted my laptop numerous times. This issue has appeared a few times before, but this time it's completely unusable and it hasn't fixed itself.

I'm having the same issue with the latest Intel graphic drivers version 20.19.15.5058 released 9/16/2018. My screen flickers and becomes impossible to use. I have discovered a work around. If I plug in an HDMI cable hooked up to my TV my display on my laptop is stable. Starting up my pc with the HDMI cable attached brings up my laptop display OK. Once in my desktop I can remove the HDMI cable and it will remain stable throughout. If my laptop goes to sleep upon awakening the flickering starts again. Plug in the cable and it stabilizes.

Rolled back drivers to windows default driver and everything works OK.

Unfortunately without the new driver some games on the internet do not work as well.
