Surface Pro 4 Screen Shaking/Shuddering up and down while Idle

I think I may have had this issue before and it just solved itself. However, my Surface Pro 4's screen has recently began to shake/shudder up and down while it is idle. If I am watching a movie, typing, or even moving the cursor it is fine just not when it is idle. It happened after I needed to render quite a few videos consecutively with Adobe Premiere Pro.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is it a software/firmware issue, or hardware? I am worried that it is going to begin shaking while I am not idle and that will become increasingly frustrating while editing.

    I was told that " screen shaking is *usually* a phantom touch problem.  An easy way to test for this is to bring up an app like paint and full-screen it, then see if the device is registering touch inputs periodically.

    If it is a phantom touch problem, you can try the steps here:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/help/3165497 "

    Keep us posted.

    If the "screen shaking" is really caused by a phantom touch problem, then logically, disabling the 3 touch devices as indicated below should eliminate "screen shake".

    I will try the horfix solution myself right now and see. The reason I suspect it could be a hardware issue is because it occurred after leaving my surface running at a high temperature. The reason I suspect it might be a software issue is because other people I have seen with similar problems have seemed to happen in the last month or so (I may be wrong), with different ages of device and different circumstances.
