flickering problem with 20.19.15.4835 driver

KLee64 · ‎03-31-2018

Hello!

I'm using Vaio Z Canvas Laptop (i7-4770HQ, Iris Pro 5200). Vaio Corp provided new 20.19.15.4835 graphic driver recently (January 30), but it doesn't working properly.

This flickering occurs only on 3D(ex. games) in fullscreen mode with recent graphics driver(.4835) on recent Windows 10 build(version 1709, 16299.15). If I play videos(2D) or 3D games in windowed mode, or use former graphics driver(.4549) or former Windows build(version 10.0, 10240), it does not flickers. Also, If I turn on Vertical Sync in each games, most games stop the flickering but some games, it doesn't fix the problem.

detail:

Windows 10 version 10.0 (build 10240, Factory reset) and 20.19.15.4835

- worked properly

Windows 10 version 1709 (build 16299.15, installed Windows 10 only, no any other updates) and 20.19.15.4549

- worked properly

Windows 10 version 1709 (build 16299.15, installed Windows 10 only, no any other updates) and 20.19.15.4835

- flickering (tried either, Intel official one and Vaio Corp one)

Is this issue has reported? Is there any solutions to fix this? or I have to use .4549 driver and do not upgrade to .4835?

Since I've heard that there were some security issues on older drivers and .4835 have fixed it, I want to use latest driver if it is possible.

EDIT: It seems this problem already reported on this thread: https://communities.intel.com/thread/118820
