Hi guys
Ive googled this and seem to get not the "right" answer.
My work has started using screens for remote access and its terrific. But everytime i share my screen, it has serious constant flicker which not only i see but so does the person on the other end.
Whats the cause
Regards
Adam

OK.. I think I may have found the solution. When sharing your screen many tiles show up for you to share. Some of these tiles are under 2 categories DESKTOP and WINDOW. Make your selection for the screen you want to share under DESKTOP NOT WINDOW. This selection made my screen not flicker anymore.

Albert, Great workaround, but #MICROSOFT, this needs a proper fix so that isolated apps can be shared. We don't want personal messages popping up during a presentation etc.
Check to see what version of windows you're using by typing "winver" in the windows search box on the bottom left hand of your screen. If you're on windows version 1909, I would recommend that you ask your IT to update your OS to 2004. After I upgraded my laptops to Windows version 2004, the problem no longer occurs.
Hey!
The company that i am working for is also experiencing this issue, we use a lot off cad, pdfs and BIM files.
While only sharing the desktop seems to be an ok solution for most cases, however we often need to share only certain windows (as many people on this thread has commented).
What i have found to be a solution is to run the program that you are going to share with administrator privileges**(Run as administrator)**, this solved the flickering for us.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Fredrik.
