My guess is drivers, or the screen is damaged.

Firstly, test it in Safe Mode. While holding the Shift key, press restart. It will take you into the recovery menu. From there, you can pick an option which will take you to a menu next time you reboot from which you can pick Safe Mode. If the lines are still there, I would check your LCD cable. If that still doesn't help, it could potentially be the LCD screen although I can't see why it would happen from installing drivers.

Just try testing it in Safe Mode.

if this happened while you're updating the drivers, chances are that the drivers are corrupted

 

try getting the latest driver from your gpu manufacturer's website (nvidia, amd or intel) and re-install it

Tried, unfortunately windows crashes while trying to get to safe mode, but the flickering on screen has eased up a bit from restarting

happened to my laptop once, exactly like that. was just a slightly loose connection of the wires of the monitor. 

I gently pressed the left and right sides (the borders in black) and it went away. 

 

I am positive its not a screen damage, just a loose connection. If you know how to open the shell and look at the connection you can do it, or get it done by an expert if you are not confident.

Wow im so glad i read through this comments..apparently i also fixed mine by gently pressing the (black)borders of my monitor. I had the thin strip green horizontal line runnin across

Weird enough this got fixed when I turned on the night light (I have an Acer swift 3). I thought night light filters the pink and green light and somehow make them unnoticeable. But that turned out be not the case. Even after turning off the night light, the fix remains intact until I restart the laptop.
