Hey all, Recently (post 1903 update), my Surface Book 2 screen started flashing black every time I touch my Surface Pen to the screen to ink something. It works just fine if I'm using the Pen as a cursor (IE moving/closing windows, etc all work just fine) and if I'm using the pen to ink in a Win32 app. What I've tested in so far: OneNote UWP -- flashes when inking MS Whiteboard -- flashes when inking MS Sticky Notes -- flashes when inking OneNote 2016 -- works just fine I've run the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit, re-installed the Intel UHD drivers, installed the latest Surface Firmware, and run Windows Update, all to no avail. I'm running W10 1903 Build 18362.175 on a 13in Surface Book 2 i7-8650U. Has anyone run into this issue before, or have any thoughts on what I should try next? I haven't tried a different pen since I only have the one, but that was my next thought.

Can help you any further, sorry

Hmm, any other links because that driver doesn't work for me. Dell laptop for work here

can you please find a download link for it or send me a google doc link? sorry I can't find that driver

Exact same situation here, but with a Lenovo X380 Yoga. Some ink apps work fine, with the ones you identified are blinking with every pen touch. Very irritating. Hope someone knows what to do.

I have seen this on a Dell 5290 Tablet since the 1903 update. Originally noticed it inking in OneNote with the pen but it also does it when drawing with a finger. It also flashes while using Snip and Sketch inking. I am just checking to see if any newer driver are available since my last attempts to fix it.
