Advertisеment
Since I installed 30.0.101.1191 on the MSI P75 Creator 9SF with this Intel graphic card: Intel® UHD Graphics 630 I can indicate that I can no longer use windows 11 normally.
As soon as you scroll through linkedin/facebook with your mouse or want to fill in input fields, the screen flickers from completely black (milliseconds) and back okay again and it all stutters for a while (several milliseconds) to work normally again.
That flickering and stuttering will drive you crazy. So I’m going to uninstall (rollback) this version.
I have this version of the driver: https://i.imgur.com/qUJNcDA.png
with rollback reverted to: https://i.imgur.com/MeklDG6.png
Now everything is back to normal.
Anyone have an idea how to bring this issue to intel or anyone who knows which driver for Intel® UHD Graphics 630 on MSI P75 Creator 9SF runs best?
I had to disable hardware acceleration to not have this strange overlay and flickering in Chrome: https://imgur.com/a/IbUQ8aA
So this driver has really messed up my system but as I use 80% my internet browser the above “fix” did the trick but of course you would like to have hardware acceleration.
