Windows 10 explorer blinking problem after installing Total Security

Hello eweryone.

I hope you can help me.

So I have a Lenovo laptop and recently my computer was going crazy.

After logging in my desktop/explorer gets constantly blinking.

I was unable to do anything... except calling Task Manager via Ctrl+Shift+Esc but this was freezing with 100% processor usage... Shortly after it exited.

The next thing I could do it was Ctrl+Alt+Del and from this screen I was able to logout, restart etc. BUT after logging-in again, or reboot the whole thing happens again and again... FOREVER.

The only solution was to enter Safe Mode (via intentionally interruption the windows boot sequence 3 times) and uninstall Bitdefender Solutions...

Weird because I didn`t faced this problem before...

I have Windows 10 build 21318 x64.

Try Bit Def123 suggestion of disabling Advanced Threat Defense in the Bitdefender settings. It has worked for me thus far. Thank you @BitDef123 .

I even restarted the PC and the workaround still holds.

And yes I'm in the Windows Insider Program too...

Hopefully the workaround works for you. And a correction is due here. The posters name who gave this workaround is corrected here, it's BitDef123 and not Bit Def123, he posted this workaround on previous discussion in this forum. So please thank him and not me for this suggestion especially if it works for you. Thank You K-T. Good Luck

@K_T ,
White screen clearly showed the blinking problem on my computer display. I have also faced a similar issue before where my screen kept blinking, and I could not do much except enter Safe Mode to try and troubleshoot.
I have not figured out the complete solution yet about this white issue. If you find a fix, please share it with me.
