My boyfriend and I were in a sleep call today (might have rolled on the laptop or something but I doubt it, since it was on my nightstand), I awoke to this issue;
My screen has this flickering bar on top (see images), the issue varies.
- At first it mostly caused about a 10 second input delay.
- After a restart my mouse did not appear beneath the bar.
- At this point I followed an online guide and reinstalled my drivers.
- Sadly it did not solve my issue.
For a short moment I thought I fixed it by closing my startup apps, like discord and spotify but after a few minutes it had reappeared, and again, my cursor disappeared.
In my BIOS the issue still occurs.
Is this common? How does it get solved and is it worthwhile to solve it myself?
note: sometimes, after a long time of not using it, my laptop starts up without any issues for the first X minutes.
