Hello guys, apparently I have the same problem when I use my wacom tablet to draw in any microsoft software mostly on One Note and Words. Hence, after a thorough research I found one method to relieve the issue.

1# Update your graphic driver to the latest from the Intel website (not OEM driver) . You need to manually install the driver using .zip file format and never use .exe format to install. If you automatically scan your device it will probably says “Up to Date” but unfortunately it is not. That’s why you need to update it manually. For more further instruction on installations, you can just google it. I found this method from website whiteboard.uservoice.com.

I hope it will help you guys. Best of luck

    Hello Reaxc.,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    To be able to assist you properly, I would like to ask few questions from you, please see below:

    1. When did the issue start to happen?
    2. Was this working before?
    3. Have you done any changes recently before this happens?

    Please let me know if you need further assistance.

    Sincerely,

    Antonio

    Making the change in Word Options/Pen/ Use pen to select...   Did not help.

    This problem started for me in the last month or two. Draw was working very well in Word, Whiteboard, PPT, Excel, Snip & Sketch until then, and now the screen blacks out until I stop moving the pen..Strangely another problem reappeared...the line I draw drops down 3-7 lines after i stop drawing it, so the line is not where i wanted it (this was a problem in the past that went away)

    There were no changes, other than updates, that I am aware of.

    I am just using the touchpad or a mouse to draw with.

    The screen blinking issue described in the yellow box of this Microsoft article:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/increase-scheduling-priority  It is most annoying and highly disruptive particularly when trying to use Microsoft Whiteboard and OneNote.

    The article above and "rpertusio" post on Page 5 of this thread both describe adding Window Manager\Window Manager Group to the Increase scheduling priority item under Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment.

    I had to get some help from our GPO administrator, but after he made the suggested change the blinking has stopped.

    I have the same problem.  I have a Dell Inspiron 5570 touch screen and a Wacom pen tablet.  The pen tablet was working fine for over 6 weeks, then Windows updated in early June.  Now, when I try using the Wacom pen tablet, it works for a couple minutes then the screen flickers a couple times then goes black.  I have to force it to restart by holding down the power button.  I ran the bluetooth troubleshooting program several times.  It says it fixed the problem:  "Problem Found - Check the Bluetooth Radio Status

    • Fixed".  But the problem persists.

    I waited a couple weeks, then bought an XP-Pen Tablet G960S Plus.  It is doing the same thing.  I have tried re-installing software to no avail.  

    I am a teacher.  School will be starting again soon online and it is imperative that I have the ability to write with a pen tablet.  Please, fix this problem and send out an update!

    I have the same problem.

    I began using the Microsoft Whiteboard for teaching during this Pandemic.

    Today, my laptop got an update for Windows 10 version 2004.

    Now, every time I draw on the Whiteboard, my laptop display blinks a number of times, then goes all black.

    Restarting works, but temporarily. The issue persists.

    There appears to be no solution yet..
