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.

After installing and first time opening Fusion360 on this laptop I got the warning: Your graphics card might not be optimal to run Fusion 360. Please run Graphics Diagnostic under the help menu to get more information.
Sorry I do not have any experience with that specific on-board graphics but generally speaking it's ideal to have a dedicated graphics card for CAD or gaming and not use an "on-board" type graphics solution.
Running Fusion on a laptop is always a compromise. One of the reasons I like Fusion 360 is that it appears to run reasonable on lack luster hardware. My laptop (MacBook Pro) has Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB, it works for what I do. I do recall seeing a similar graphics warning. I run with the check box "Limit effects to optimize performance" checked.
I have the Acer Swiftt 5 that is essentially the same laptop. I also got a warning on Fusion, but simply ignores it as it run so much better than my old gen 3 I5 ! You can always turn a few "blings" off in Fusion. I am happy with my purchase. I run a dual screen setup, and it works well for me. Of course if you are used to much better...
p.s. happy to read more responses still. I guess this topic is interesting for other users too as more and more people want to use Fusion360 with very light devices (Ultrabooks, Tabletts, Convertibles) which come with such graphic cards?!
LOL! "Hot Berlin!" In my part of the tropics, add 90% plus humidity to your hot day! Good luck with the laptop. I love Swift 5. Compared to my old laptop, I keep checking my bag if it did not fell out by accident, it is so light.
If possible does anyone on this board have those RTF firmware files for download so I can transfer them to the flight controllers card without the hassel of firmware update through mission planner. I tried this several times each time failed.
I have iris plus and wondering what other people around have these. Any link would be good, our robotics club was donated a unit with a hoverfly so just trying to piece it together. I have 3dr solo too. but realize I will need to upgrade to opensource. I thought I would be able to fly without any updates. I can see if I have a stock file from the unit itself. I think there is a pixhawk2 in the solo. wondering what is in the iris plus
Thanks Dave, I bought more parts for this older drone. Tried to use Ardupilot, but getting errors. I have 3 of these now as I found ebay ones. Any combination of software and updates for these 3dr products. I play with the solo as it works. But wanting more software control on the app. I also want to interchange batteries as the motors are the same it appears. The iris wants a 3s 11.1 but I have 4 solo batteries new 3s 14v wondering if I could just put an XTC connector on it. though it still wont fit in the compartment bay. Any thoughts. ?
I am using an HP ENVY Laptop-17-cg0002na on Win10 Home edition and Device Manager - Display Adaptors tells me I have a Intel(R) Iris(R) Plus Graphics. I double clicked it but none of the Properties says the model of Iris Plus.enter image description here
