My laptop has these white grains boxes on some applications, please help.

[GeneDrozd]

These white boxes show up on some applications like Microsoft teams, autodesk manager software, but never has this shown in a game. I have an external monitor i use to game at home and the white boxes transfer over on both screens when i move the application between screens, which means its not a screen problem. please see the pictures for an example of the white grains im talking about. Here are my laptop specs.

Looks like the teach scanned a poorly printed worksheet when they were making the PDF, your laptop is fine.

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I'm fairly certain thats what happened.

In teams, try disabling hardware acceleration to test if that stops the issue.

Many graphical glitches can be solved with a driver re-installation.

 

Use DDU to remove them and the install the latest from Nvidia.

That did not work sadly.

If you've done a totally fresh install of Windows then driver's are not likely the issue, but you can find DDU at the following link.

I just now uninstalled my drivers, and the problem has seemed to go away, could it possibly be a NVIDIA Driver bug?

Unlikely to be a bug in the driver itself. More often it's some weird interaction of the hardware and software on your particular machine.

 

That's why more often than not a driver wipe and clean install clears up so many of these types of issues.

 

Glad you got it sorted!

A clean install of the driver worked, i just always did the express install, thanks!
