Acer nitro 5 AN515-57 screen blinking after intel graphics update

https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/689285/acer-nitro-5-an515-57-screen-blinking-after-intel-graphics-update

This problem is due to having the Intel Graphics Command Center > Refresher Setting > On and you need to turn it Off, this happened to my Nitro 5 AN515-56 after an update of the Arc driver which was the previous Arc Intel driver version. also look at this Intel article at "How to Fix a Flickering Screen with Intel® Graphics" if there are other issues, but turning the refresher off should fix that problem like it did for my laptop screen.

Start with doing this for laptops:

Disable the Panel Self Refresh setting in the Intel Graphics Command Center by following these steps, see caption below also:

How to Enable and Disable Panel Self Refresh

Panel self-refresh can save power by allowing the panel to refresh independently. Follow these steps to enable or disable panel self-refresh in the Intel® Graphics Command Center:

From the Windows Start Menu, search for the Intel Graphics Command Center. Double click the Intel® Graphics Command Center icon to open the application.

Click System in the left navigational menu.

In the Power tab, locate Panel Self Refresh and click the On or Off button. To stop the screen blinking you need to have this setting on the OFF settings.

When I did the above and put the "Panel Self Refresh to Off" and I also have a 144Hz refresher rate screen on my Nitro AN515-56, my blinking screen stopped completely, turn the "Panel Self Refresh to Off" as it will stop the blinking of the screen. as the next Intel Arc driver updated to this last version 31.0.101.4577 will work properly and your screen will NOT blink, so wait until the new driver.

Also, you can't stop the Windows Update updating the Intel Arc graphics drivers on your laptop, that problem is the same for everyone as Microsoft Windows Update is not up to date with the latest Intel Arc graphics drivers, and this update you can't stop, so you need to keep updating the driver in Device Manager if it gets reinstalled back to the old Arc driver.

There are several bios versions, mentioning fixes for the display of that model. Try updating the bios to the latest version, taking care.

but i have the bios version 1.19

So what i need to do its to download a bios version on acer drivers that fix that problem ?
or i have to download the bios files like its sorted ? Can you explain more or steps for what to do

The latest version already contains corrections from previous versions. So just install the latest version.

i already have the 1.19 version and still i have the problem also why intel support and driver installer suggest me that my intel driver is arc and iris version 11th 9gen while my laptop is downloading this version display driver 30.0.100.9864

When you uninstall the intel and nvidia drivers using the DDU program in safe mode, does the problem persist?

yes also when i do that the problem still

hello steven

I've tried the intel steps about flickering but didnt work and also yes when i put my screen refresh to 60 its stoping flickering but thats not a solution because i want to keep using my 144 screen refresh rate

And i will try that thing about the panel self refresh with 144 refresh rate not 60

But the first point here its when i update to latest arc version windows update keep roll me back to a previous version like there are files on my laptop that have settings and hardware id to download specific version

and old one and i dont want to change on my group policy like to stop updating my drivers from windows update

so what i have to do to roll back the driver after windows updater install the old version ?
i think i see that idk where but someone was saying when windows update install the old driver after you install the new one just roll back from device manager and you well keep the newest version so i will try those steps when i'll be home and i will try what yo told me too and thank you i'll update what will happend with me

i install the driver but theres another problem that intel arc control is not opening its showing on my taskbar but wont open

I open the program now but i cant see that (panel self refresh ) in arc control

Are you sure your talking to the same program version ? @StevenGen

It is possible that the CRU program can help you solve the problem:

in this arc control panel theres no panel self refresh settings

So still the problem dosent fixed yet and i dont want to put my screen refresh rate to 60

And at the same time now windows well download older version its works fine but

At the same time i need to fix this version and flickering so i can use it @StevenGen

@egydiocoelho didint work i try it now and still the screen flickering

and again its installing old versions after i install the latest one from intel arc driver

intel support assistant its showing me that i have to update to that version

Also when the okd drivers installed and intel command center its showing me that i have a newer version and after i install the newest one its rolling me back again to the oldest one and also screen again return flickering when laptop is unplugged ( not charging )

Theres too much error in that thing 😂😅

And also i cant see and new drivers on acer manuals and drivers thats so weird

OK! As there is still no solution, I advise you to try to reinstall windows, pressing alt+f10 before the acer logo.

i reinstall windows a clean installation with a usb and didnt work i did that 4 days ago
