What is this?

Sometimes it appears and disappears after a few seconds. We exclude the videocard and drivers.

That is nearly always a GPU card or driver issue, so unless I know how you decided to exclude the GPU, it's useless to even suggest something.

I have experience with a faulty video card. And the problem is only in Premiere, which means the problem is in the software. If the video card is faulty, artifacts will be present everywhere, even on the desktop. So we can rule out the video card and drivers. Any other options?

I've been helping troubleshoot a long time in both Premiere and actually in Resolve also. I've seen this image before, and it was always a driver issue. So that is all I can advise, I've never seen this not be a driver issue. And whether it happens in one app or all seems to be immateriel ... it is fixed with driver changes. Either updating, going to Studio from gaming (if Nvidia card), or at times even going back a driver or two.

 

Each to our own devices, of course.

How did you do that?

What is your video card and driver?

 

Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers
Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter

I don't need to update anything. I noticed this problem a long time ago, and it disappears almost immediately. Something in the program needs to be changed, but what? The drivers are different, the Adobe versions are different.
