White flashing dots all over the screen (sometimes red green and blue)

I am getting SO frustrated with these dots. They make my mouse stop working every 10 seconds so I have to turn the mouse off and back on again just to do the same thing 10 seconds later. I had to post this on another device since it was so tedious to use the trackpad. They are really hard to see when they’re on bright colors but when you put a black picture on full screen, all the dots are just dancing around. I have tried downloading a NVDIA driver but it doesn’t even show up, I have tried uninstalling my current driver, I have tried going to my Windows Update to see if my current version up to date, I have browsed the Microsoft Community page for people who have the same problem as me, just for all the solutions to not work. Since I have browsed the Microsoft Community page for people who have the same problem, I am pretty sure this is a driver problem.

    Are you still seeing the original problem on your screen?

    Wait, it didn’t change the drivers. I’m trying to change it by clicking “Update Driver” but it doesn't show up.

    Just in case, I will go to Device Manager to see if it changed my drivers. I will update you if it‘s already been installed.

    If you have run that installer, there is no need to go into Device Manager, the drivers will have been installed, are you still seeing the original problem on your screen?

    Now do I go to Device Manager, go to my Graphics Driver, and update it to the driver? And also, you said driver in plural. Since there are multiple drivers, what do I use?
