[Graphics Issue] restoring/maximising windows from taskbar black screen flash i5 6200u win 8.1

[asmit20]

my brand dell inspiron 5559 intel i5 6200u graphics card 520 windows 8.1 screen resolution 1366x768

no other graphics card

it is a standard laptop panel with touchscreen

8gb ram

bios version 1.0.6

happens both if plugged in and on battery

graphics driver 20.19.15.4532

please help me. i have downloaded the latest driver for my graphics card intel graphics 520. i have just bought a new dell inspiron 5559 which came with a 6th gen i5 6200u.

i have tried the driver from dells website and also the latest one from intel here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25620/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-10-15-40-6th-Gen- https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25620/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-10-15-40-6th-Gen-

I have tried all other options as well.

the issue that i am facing is i often have quite a few open windows minimized to the taskbar. whenever i maximise them (in other words bring them to the foreground by clicking on them from the taskbar) the screen flashes black for a split second which greatly disturbes me and after happening quite a few times gives me a bit of a headache. I am not sure how to explain this simpler or in the proper technical term, just every time i have windows such as firefox chrome notepad wordpad calculator and i minimise all of them when i click on them so that the window comes back there is a short flash of black screen.

I also have the settings in windows in performance options - visual effects, set to no animations so the window maximises without any animation.

you are welcome to try this yourselves and please let me know if there is a solution.

If not, please can you fix this in the next release of the driver.

thank you

my system is an intel driver not an amd

i have installed the dell driver and it does not help. not only that it is a very old intel driver with lots more bugs.

i don't even know why dell does not update it.

thank you

At this stage this stage Intel is currently working on testing and fixing flickering and blinking issues; however, I still do not have an estimate. Please keep checking the https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ Drivers & Software for further driver releases.
