Screen flickering after the v27.10 update.

I was working as usual for a couple of hours until I saw that there was a Photoshop update. I updated it and continued working, but immediately after the update, I started noticing the program flickering—sometimes it’s black, other times white. It happens constantly and only in Photoshop, so it’s pretty obvious that it’s a bug in the update.

While the preferences settings Tranquil_problemae64 points out might temporarily resolve screen flicker, I’d like to point out that you can lose smoothness when zooming and doing other operations.

Same issue,,, I’m seeing a lot NVidia in comments so maybe something with that. Running a GTX4060 Laptop Game Ready Driver 616.56 on Win 11 Pro. Running PS 27.9.1

Estou tendo praticamente o mesmo problema. Já atualizei o driver da minha RTX 4070 Ti Super e até fiz testes de estresse com o OCCT para verificar se o problema poderia ser na placa de vídeo, mas não foi detectado nenhum erro. No meu caso, são piscadas bem rápidas e aleatórias, sem um intervalo ou momento específico para acontecer, e só percebo isso no Photoshop.

The same thing happened to me today.

I did the v27.10 update this morning and soon encountered a mix of white and black full screen “flashes” while working on a document (no artboards activated). It felt like some kind of GPU acceleration failure.

I have a RTX 3090 (Win 11), so I just updated to the latest Nvidia Game Ready Drivers (I’ve had too many problems with the studio versions over the years). I’m not sure it 100% fixed it because I still have some weird micro-flickers, but it is better than before updating, so far at least.

Edit : Well, no it clearly didn't fix it.

Similar problem here. Only happened after 27.10 update. Screen will suddenly flash/flicker. Seems random. Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, Driver version 595.95, Windows 11
