Flickering in Windows 10


TCD

Recommended Posts

Hello, I know that someone already post about this issue but it still persists.  

I ignored it at first as a bug either in Aero or intel drivers or OS itself. But it has been enough time already and it has become very distracting.

PC config: Core i7 4700HQ with HD 4600 graphics, GeForce 765M with optimus, 12GB RAM, 2x1080p monitors, DPI 125%, Windows 10 x64 10586.

It doesn't happen in windows 8.1 or with single monitor. I also tried different drivers, even complete format and OS reinstall.

I tried to capture a screenshot of this but that doesn't work, so here are pictures taken by my phone. I am also prepared to capture logs, but I don't know how so someone will have to help me with that.

Does it happen with your DPI set at 100%?

Yes it does. DPI has no effect on it. Also single screen and 2 screens in Win8.1 both with 125% DPI work fine.

It happens ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 and in all versions of Aero Glass that I tried.

There should be a log already in your AeroGlass directory called debug.log.  I'm guessing that Big Muscle might want to see what's in that file. 

The forum allows you to attach files to a thread via a little rectangle just below the edit window.

If it's large, you could make a copy of it and use Notepad or similar to cut out the entries prior to the time of your last few bootups, so as to keep the file size smaller.

I attached debug file to the first post. Haven't seen anything interresting there, but I am not an expert.

So you did - I missed it.  Sorry.

For what it's worth, this is what mine shows:

Since there weren't any replies to the topic I made about this, I'll post it here.

I'm getting frequent visual glitches when doing virtually any task but seems to be most noticeable on a browser (especially when scrolling), Start menu, and when playing a video. It seems to happen when there are sudden major changes on screen (like moving through a webpage, a video playing, or opening Start). I'm sure there's something I need to do that I don't know about to get Glass8 to work properly on Windows 10. I installed it (32 + 64 bit installer), ran through the installer without issues....

I have provided the debug.log to give you some info! I see a frequent statement throughout the log, "DWM incompatibility error 0x8". Not quite sure what to make of that or what to do. Thanks!

Specs: Intel i5-5250U 1.60GHz up to 2.70GHz CPU, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Intel HD 6000 graphics. Windows 10 x64, build 10586

EDIT: Didn't see bigmuscle's reply until after this was posted. Thanks for the info, hope it can be fixed soon!

Hello,

Yes this is the same issue I reported in the first place!
Is is related to NVidia optimus, because on my desktop setup I have no flickering with multimonitor, but I have encountered more explorer crashes on the desktop after installation of AeroGlass as before.
This is surely not so. wants to ready but I advice not to install AeroGlass! It's not stable!

This may also by connected to WDDM2.0. I was trying different intel drivers and with the oldest ones I could find, I get no flickering. These are pre-release Win10 drivers from 10th July and they only support WDDM1.3, newer ones all support WDDM2.0.

Also my debug log no longer shows DWM incompatibility error 0x8 with these drivers.

I hope it helps.
