Computer screen flashes
Hello all
I have the last couple of months been experiencing an annoying problem where my computer screen flashes and my cursor moves to the center of the screen. I have noticed that when it happens the "screen project" is changing, often from "pc screen only" to "Dublicate", this has lead me to believe that the computer maybe falsely believes it is connected to an extra monitor. Further when I go into "Intel HD graphics/display" I can select "Built in-display" or "Monitor".
It is not always like this, sometimes there is no problem and other times there is a problem.
So far I have tried to update and disable "Generic PnP Monitor" in "device manager" but this has not solved the problem.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Welcome to the Dell Community @Mortensen91
Could you provide the Hardware ID for the "Generic PnP Monitor"

To better assist you, we would need the exact model number of your laptop/desktop???
Also provide the Windows OS you are running???

@Mortensen91
Right click on "Generic PnP Monitor"
First try to "Update Driver"
If latest driver is installed:
Try "Uninstall Device"
If asked " Delete the driver software for this device" appears check the box.
Reboot and let Windows install the driver.
Regards,
