Screen Flicker on Windows 10 with Multiple Monitors
On a Latitude E6530, I get a flickering screen issue only after both upgrading to windows 10 and while using a monitor. The problem doesn't appear otherwise.
Both monitors seem to be set to 60 Hz.
I tried updating my Nvidia driver, didn't work.
This occurs with more than one monitor.
Given that this occurs with the upgrade to windows 10 I'm forced to think its a driver issue, but if updating the drivers doesn't fix it I don't know what else to try.
It appears to me that the flicker only occurs on the laptop's screen and not the secondary monitor.
Edit: By switching off optimus and rebooting, installing the latest intel graphics drivers, I get no flicker. I don't like Optimus being enabled though, so I'd like a solution that doesn't involve using the intel card at all...

On laptops Windows will always [laptops using Nvidia GPU's, not sure about AMD] run on the integrated GPU on the CPU, and only switch to the dedicated GPU in applications apart from that, that demand it.
You can also try going to the Nvidia Control Panel, and go to Manage 3D Settings, and set the preferred GPU to Nvidia Dedicated GPU.
Not sure if that completely answered your question though. :/
