Iresearched a bit online and found some solutions or tips. The flickering isn't caused by any apps and the device is fine. When I deinstalled the driver and set it back to default (Microsoft Basic Adapter), the flickering stopped and everything was fine. But the driver installs itself back again and the flickering starts from anew.
2- Just to make sure, the issue only occurs on the built-in display and when the content of the screen was static or when moving the mouse? So for instance, it does not occur when playing a video or a game, is this correct?
As a second option, you may try to install one of the Intel generic drivers. However, usually installation of generic drivers on Microsoft Surface devices is not allowed/approved by Microsoft. You may try installing Intel's graphics driver Version: 27.20.100.8681:
If you encounter problems to install the driver, you may try the Clean Installation of Intel Graphics Drivers in Windows 10 steps. However, we highly recommend checking first with Microsoft Support if this is recommended (or perhaps they can assist you to install and test using Intel generic driver):

We are checking this thread and we would like to know if you were able to try the previous recommendations or to check this with Microsoft Support. Please feel free to share any feedback about the outcome of the steps.
We are checking this thread and we have not heard back from you so we will proceed to close it now. If the issue persists, and considering this is a new laptop and the updates for this platform is highly customized and controlled by Microsoft, we recommend checking this further with Microsoft support for further debugging from their side and to discard possibility of hardwdare issue. If you need any additional information, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer being monitored.
I don't think it's a Microsoft issue. Flickering also happens for me on an HP Pavilion laptop, and only with Intel Iris Plus Graphics installed (27.20.100.8681). The flickering only happens on initial boot from a shut down state, so my workaround is to reboot immediately after turning on the laptop. Otherwise, the flickering makes the computer unusable.
While the graphic card driver is "Microsoft basic display adapter" there is no flickering. But as soon as my Windows updates the VGA driver (automatically) to the "Intel iris plus graphic", flickering comes back!
The driver version (that gets updated automatically) is 26.20.100.7641
Yes, my notebook (ASUS Zenbook Flip 13 - UX363JA) is having exactly the same problem. The flickering occurs when under the first boot (after being off for a while). An immediate reboot fixes the issue.
I do not have similar problem when booting my notebook to Ubuntu 20.04. I suspect that it is due to the intel driver problem (27.20.100.8190.02). Really hope that this could be fixed. Although an immediate reboot solves the problem, this sounds stupid to do it everyday...
Usually when I see a reboot fixing an issue like this, my first thought is: BIOS issue. Have you checked recently to see if there are any BIOS updates (and specifically one that updates the Video BIOS)? If not, you might want to ask MS if they have recently checked to see if there is an updated Video BIOS release from Intel.
In my case, I do not see much for video specific setting under BIOS (except DVMT pre-allocated 32M/64M memory setting). Also, I have tried a number of times booting my notebook into Ubuntu Linux (when it was off for a long time) and I did not see the similar problem. It only occurs under Windows 10, while the driver is in version 27.*, signed by Intel.
I can manually trigger the flickering by sleeping the device and waking it up again. I'm attaching a video for where you can watch it.
Please help me. I've contacted with Microsoft and they will replace my device, but I live in Argentina and it costs me 400usd to send it to the us and bring the new one back into my country. If i can avoid the replace, I'll be really happy.
The flickering I had was different! The screen did not go off and on repeatedly.
Instead, the display had a shadow of everything was on it with a slightly different color (something like TV's snow) half of an inch below the original images.
You can see a version of it in the link below

For this problem, I had a solution which I mentioned here. But I'm not sure if that fixes your problem as well since the issue on your laptop looks different.
Anyway, you can give it a try. Who knows, maybe it solves yours as well.
Hi, I'm having the same issue with Surface Pro 7. I bought it about a month ago and after a few days, I noticed that screen flickers, but not all the time. It was happening from time to time. Today while I was using Surface it started to flicker and didn't want to stop. I restarted the device to see if it helps and even on the update screen (this blue screen with white text: "getting things ready etc...") the screen was flickering. After a restart, nothing has changed. Then I started to research and found this thread. I uninstalled (from device manager: "uninstall device") Intel Iris Plus Graphics and the flickering stopped.
There is an Intel software named "Graphic command center" which is an updated version of an old software named "Intel HD graphic control panel". I uninstall the recent software and install the old one which is "Intel HD graphic control panel" from the Microsoft store. Then flickering was gone when I open this software (Without changing the settings)!
Secondly, you have a laptop. In the case of laptops, vendors very often customize the graphics driver installation packages to also install support for special features of their laptop (hotkeys, focus/brightness controls, wireless enable/disable, etc.). If you overinstall a customized driver package with one of the Intel generic packages, you will lose these special features and you may end up with an unstable system. Only if your vendor is telling you that they do not customize the packages should you attempt to use Intel's generic packages.
As for this particular release, it is old enough that Intel does not make it available any longer. I do have a copy of the 7755 release squirreled away, but it is way too large (>370MB) for email delivery.

Do you mean you not aware of the possibility of long press or there is no need for it?
Today I don't have Shelly+ devices because I want the same functions of the embedded system drivers (2 way live syncronisation without maker API) + the device must be available in Button Controllers for using the buttons seperate from the relay
Apologies in advance for asking a newbie question but regarding your generic driver how do I trigger the second switch? Putting a switch on a dashboard allows me to control the device but it only triggers switch0, not switch1. I suspect I am asking a question that is a bit elementary and I ought to be doing something a bit clever with Rul Machine but it is a couple of years since I last did anything with Hubitat and so a bit 'rusty'. Any tutorials you can point me to, alternatively, would also be a real bonus.
Many thanks in advance
Default Hubitat interface (either dashboard or RM) relies on so called 'device capabilities' (a driver code side thing). And by default 'switch' capability is using on() and off() function calls (i.e. it doesn't expect any arguments in). And so I suppose Dashborad module and RM are not expecting it to accept any argument and don't provide one by initial platform design (I could be wrong here)
When I tried to insall the Windows 10 driver for the adapter via the website, I got the blue windows crash screen and Windows needed to be repaired (At the time I forgot to remember the error message). Afterwards, suprisingly I found that a driver was installed but i's unclear to me if I did that, or perhaps Windows autoinstalled some kind of driver?
Also I was wondering how I can swich between 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz? on the package it says you can but I haven't seen any option for it, maybe his is the case because the driver didn't install whell?
Based on that it seems like it did install a driver which windows did do automatically. If the adapter is working then I would leave it at that, but if you continue to have issues, you can uninstall the driver, then install the T3U driver by grabbing it here: link
The windows Server 2019 installation cannot recognise the RAID array without the correct VROC drivers. I have tried a multitude of drivers from the links provided, but none of them enable the volume to be found by the windows installation.
Finding drivers for specific hardware components can sometimes be a bit challenging, especially when it comes to specialized configurations like the Intel VROC SATA software RAID on the ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus v2. Here are some steps you can take to locate the correct drivers:
>> Start by checking the official HPE support website. They often provide drivers and firmware updates for their servers. Visit the HPE support site, enter your server model, and look for storage controller or RAID controller drivers.
