Another case

How the flickering got started
Started randomly - no new SW installed or any other change than regular OS & App Updates. First occurred in Sep, 2016. Put in storage for a few days - the issue resolved on its own. Had a case created for replacement, but eventually decided not to send -- now know it was a terrible decision. Now MS says, the device is out of warranty & I need to pay INR 35K (~$600) for a refurbished replacement!

Steps you have taken so far:

Checked if Task Manager flickered as well - YES
Display Driver reinstall in Safe Mode - Done
Complete clean system re-install - Done
Results - Flickering is back
