Some programs turn pink on my screen

[ineedhelppleasehelp]

So I recently downloaded the new update for windows which reseted my nvidia settings. Now after the update when I go fullscreen on for example youtube the whole screen turns pink and starts flashing abit. By just left clicking and like doing something this disappers but it's super annoying and this also happens in games for example counter strike where it stays pink and I don't know what to do. Since this happend exactly after the update I'm guessing this has to do with some nvidia settings getting restored but i do not know! Plz help

And no it's not the screen

Are you on the most current Nvidia driver? If not then uninstall it with DDU and then install the latest driver and see if it keeps behaving that way.

just in case, what display output are you using? (vga, hdmi, DP)

 

stuff like this is very typical with iffy VGA cables, but having a cable failure work so in sync with software differences is quite an odd case.

 

like @imreloadin suggested, DDU / driver reinstall should probably be the first step, since it reset your settings anyways (chances are it screwed up more than just settings)

 

EDIT:

DDU: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

make sure to also download the nvidia driver installer and put it on your desktop along with DDU, makes things easier.

try updating the drivers for your graphics card and motherboard and what display output are you using
