Hello all,

Does anyone have a solution to why when I scroll my screen goes from white to  pink, I can't stop noticing it.  I was watching you tube and when I scrolled down to read comments I could clearly see the pink fading in and out.

The 11/2 update fixed the tint and flickering issue for me.. glad I gave it another chance buying the SP4 and installing the update.  The funny thing is when I did the update once the display driver still showed the old version and of course the tint issue remained. But doing the update again fixed it.

Microsoft just released a firmware update that has fixed the problem for me. See:

https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/install-update-activate/surface-pro-4-update-history?os=windows-10

No more screen flickering or tint changing. The update should be titled System Firmware Update -11/2/2015.

MODERATOR EDIT (11/3/2015): I marked this as the answer - thanks for the confirmation Jacob!  For those of you receiving "display adapter...stopped responding" errors on Surface Pro 4 please share here, a thread specific to that error...

    Yes. Connectivity is much more stable now. The Surface still has its share of issues though.

    I took your suggestion and returned it for another unit.  I now have it set up  so far, I still had connectivity issues so I applied the registry fix.  so far, the unit is reconnecting as it comes out of sleep mode.

    I still notice the screen changing from white to blueish tint, and unusual speaker pops when I close a window.  Maybe this will be addressed soon.

    Did the registry change fix the problems with the internet?

    I have the same issue. This is very sad, since I loved the feel and the price I got the surface pro 4 for ($1060 256g i5 Model).

    But I am going to keep it hopefully MSFT fixes the HUE issues and screen flickering issues ASAP.

    I am at dismay thinking how Microsoft allowed a premium product with out proper QA. It might be the result of an Outsourced QA. Wake up MSFT, there is no product on this planet that greatly benefited from outsourcing.

    It's a software issue. If you install the newest graphic driver from Intel, it will be solved. However, the hardware update will show up again in windows update, and if you install the hardware update, the driver from Intel will be deleted automatically. Here is another issue about SSD performance, the read speed is only around 110, Microsoft didn't provide the NVMe driver which is from Samsung. The read speed should be around 600.
