Surface Book 2 Screen Flashes Black when inking in UWP Apps

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.

    The solution for me was also a rollback on Intel HD Graphics Driver for Windows 10 (64-bit) 25.20.100.6576

    This version, maybe in combination with win10 1903, still has some issues.

    I had similar display issues on my dell latitude 7390 2 in 1, rolling back to the intel 620 2018 drivers resolved the issue.
