Strange Issue with desktop flashing on and off
My friend's laptop is having a strange issue where the desktop flashes on and off with the theme color.
I did a virus and malwarebytes scan, and found nothing.
I turned off all startup programs except a few.
It seems to work fine in Safe Mode, however.
Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pXMqmvZhhw
Does anyone know what this issue is and how to fix it?
Let me know.
Thanks,
David
