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?

    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.

    [edit: this looks like a short term fix and the problem with scrolling and screen refresh has come back]
    Thanks for posting this. That worked for me in combination with turning off "Variable refresh rate" right below it in Advanced graphics settings. Appreciated!

    I have also been encountering this same issue after upgrading from 23H2 to 24H2, running an RX 6650 XT, drivers up-to-date and rolling back to 23H2 fixes this issue for me.

    I have the same situation, it helped me to disable MPO, from Nvidia website -https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5157/~/after-updating-to-nvidia-game-ready-driver-461.09-or-newer%2C-some-desktop-apps you need to download reg file, open it and restart PC. After that, I have not encountered this problem anymore

    Same issue on my HP 15s-fq1956nz notebook (from 2020) with integrated Iris plus graphic card. My screen flickers violently and goes black most of the time. All my drivers are up to date.

    The issue appears already on the login screen. I have to force a hard reboot (long press power bottom) and immediately turn on again to temporary fix the problem. But it comes back again on next reboot...
    I went back to 23H2 and the issue disappeared.

    Any clue will be strongly appreciated. Thank you.
