How to solve Flickering issue on your Surface pro 4 or any windows 10 laptop?



Windows 10, an operating system that is designed for this era. Conceived with care to accomplish desktop and tablet tasks in the dame time. Especially when used on pc tablet device, that’s where it shines the most. This innovation brought with it a whole new vision for what we can do. Let’s take the Microsoft’s Surface pro series, the most adapted devices for windows 10, and yet they suffer from screen flickering and distortion issues.

When you look around in the internet, many users discussed this issue. And if you’re looking for a cure, I’m here to tell you that there is no cure unless if you’re willing to pay 450 US dollars. In this article, I will showcase the solutions that worked for my Surface pro 4.

First, you need to understand that this is a firmware issue, an incompatibility. It is related to the graphic card (GPU) malfunctioning. For us users of the Surface pro 4, it is related to the processor (CPU), since this one acts as a CPU and GPU in the same time. So, we’ll start by making sure the CPU is working well then, I’ll show you an app with which you can control your fan speed, or just put it in a freezer whenever it heats up.

Direct your mouse to the windows icon, right click it and choose device manager or just search it the search bar, then choose display adapter, click on that intel 510 or 520 depending on what set up you have. Right click it, uninstall it and reboot your pc. After rebooting, click on the power button for 30 seconds then release. Your pc will be shut down by now. Click both your volume up button and your power button, a screen will appear, choose to exit then reboot.

After rebooting, go to device manager and update your display adapter. After you’ve done that, your pc will reboot, shut it down and let it cool down.

This would mean that your display adapter is up to day and isn’t showing any deficiency. For most people, it works fine from here. That wasn’t my case. What I do now is monitoring my Surface pro’s temperature by installing a fan speed monitor. Just type SPEEDFAN in your search engine and install it or click here.

From now on, you’ll have to take it easy on your device and monitor its temperature using this app.

Hoping that this article will help, in the meantime, start looking for buyers cause this issue will make your experience a disaster.
