Any news on authoring mode , especially over the long term?
Rebooting in Audit mode made Windows 10 useable for me

I can confirm that with high speed camera I can see way less temporal dithering on audit mode. However it is still there on darker shades. I would not call this fixing the problem.
"Would be awesome if you could post the video here."
I wasted 3 hours exiting the audit mode, so I can't do this. I do not recommend anyone using this route. Better use Windows server, I tried Windows Server 2022 and it did not dithering on my laptop, but the ICC profiles were not loading and brightness of display was nonadjustable. After I installed drivers it made it dither. But every laptop is different.

Tried audit mode. The way it is rendering the image to screen is definitely different - I would say better - but it effectively logged me out of everything, uninstalled half my stuff and 'lost' all my local user files - I keep important stuff in the cloud but still there was some mildly useful things in my downloads folder. Will keep testing this mode.

Audit mode logs you in the administrator account. It doesn't delete other accounts data. Go to C:/Users/"Your account name" and you should be able to find your files.
I recommend that everyone who has success with Audit mode and can afford it buys the $20 microscope that notebookcheck uses (https://ledstrain.org/d/1903-gear-used-by-notebookcheckcom/12) and compares audit mode vs regular mode. If we find something that way, we would finally have some proof that companies can't ignore anymore.

They can ignore it just fine. If < 1% of customers have an issue it is not an issue.
They can choose to ignore the customers that have the issue, but they can't ignore proof. But I think you got what I meant. Please lets not keep ourselves busy with nitpicking.

Yes audit mode has no flicker in my case verified with high speed phone camera and lens to magnify pixels.
Just a heads up, you can still download windows 10 (early builds)
head over to https://rufus.ie/en/
it's safe and secure, I'm able to use build 1709 without any problems - just make sure you disable updates once windows 10 is installed.

I've written more on this subject before so I'm not going to reiterate, but I have the suspicion that almost all previous interventions failed due to lack of any reproducible "cause and effect" relationship between the issue and potential causes. Is this the entire story? No, but it's certainly a valid starting point.
