Screen "Flashing" during connection and after disconnecting

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi, I have tried to search for this issue, but I can't seem to find the right combination of words to get any similar results.

Basically what is happening is when someone connects to my PC with Teamviewer all my programs freak out, many UI elements go blank then each thing flashes once as if every element is being reloaded one by one. Eventually when this process stops the person connecting can finally see the screen and everything works ok. After the other person disconnects the same thing happens and I can't really use anything. As before once it completes whatever it is doing everything works as normal.

Any ideas what is causing this and how I can resolve it? It's almost as if it's refreshing into a different display mode for the session, then revering afterward.

For reference I have a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti running on the latest studio drivers.

Hello @MarineManMike,

Have you tried to Disable hardware acceleration when connecting?

It might help in some visual issues cases.

All the best,

We have the exact same issue.

We use TeamViewer every day to support our customers. Everyone of us has this exact problem when we have one or more connections open to client pc's or servers. Sometimes this happens immediately and sometimes it takes 20 minutes or so to start. Then the right-click menu becomes nearly unusable beacause it starts flashing and many many other UI elements have the same issue. Sometimes whole windows appear and disappear.

This appeared around a week ago or so.

I agree the problem exists. It's even more annoying because the screen flickers every time when I'll switch the connected remote client from full screen to windowed type (it doesn't matter if it is maximized or not) or when I just minimize the window.

The abovementioned solution about disabling hardware acceleration doesn't resolve it at all.

The issue occurred after one of your updates (between small subversion).
