An image from 'Weird Graphics Glitch'. Two close-up images of a digital screen showing pixel grid patterns with color stripes and a bright light reflection.
Yesterday, I did 3 big things: I updated my dell inspiron 13 7000 series laptop, I updated my microsoft office suite, and I installed project 64 the popular nintendo emulator. Since last night, every time my laptop goes to sleep and I turn the screen back on, I'll get this weird pixel-y display. I have no idea what caused it, what it is, what is happening, or why I just need to wait a minute for the screen to go black then be completely fixed. ...until the next time I close the lid or something else like that. Does anyone know what is happening?

It looks like your graphics driver is somehow being corrupted.

Did you update the graphics driver too?

Try running the DDU or Display driver uninstaller as this will remove any corruption as well as the driver. Update using the driver recommended by your support page:

Thanks! I have it working again, I reverted back to the previous version of windows 10 I had and I haven't noticed any problems yet. If anyone else has this problem, Link Removed

Hi Kyeato,
thanks for the update as well as the handy link.
As soon as you see some drivers released for your model (keep an eye on the support page) you'll be able or should be able to install the update without issue.
