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.

    k Doi, have you tried O_Jason's fix on this form? (It's at the bottom of page 5). That patch fixed it for me and multiple clients.

    Thank you!

    Great workaround, but not a fix for the issue. MS need to take ownership of this and solve the issue, not rely on the user-base to come up with clever ways of working around their software's shortcomings!
