Since updating to Windows 24H2, I’ve been noticing screen tearing during regular use, such as scrolling through web pages, watching videos, and general multitasking.

  • My GPU drivers are up-to-date.
  • This issue wasn’t present before the update. 
        Is anyone else encountering this?

    I worked through some of the suggestions but the issue kept coming back. What finally worked for me was going into Nvidia Control Panel / set up G-sync / Enable for windowed and full screen mode / apply changes. So it's some sort of incompatibility with the December 5 RTX driver and the latest Win11 update but this fixed it for me. It was a lack of screen refresh on scrolling in multiple apps such as Slack, Chrome, and Word, and a failure for the screen to refresh upon a scroll, and getting a partially updated screen when scrolling, where there was a portion of the screen not updating. Hope this helps, that callout on windowed games was key.

    Hi, i think I found a solution

    I found that turning off “Optimizations for windowed games” in System > Display > Graphics seemed to fix the issue for me.

    But this is a temporary solution until windows updates and resolves this bug.

    Brilliant. Cheers mate!
