Thanks man!
So I have an update, guys… I loaded Windows 10 22H2 and tried what was mentioned above — disabled color calibration in Task Scheduler and a few other things — but nothing made a difference.
Then I went back to 1809, using the post-1809 wallpaper I had extracted, and set it as my wallpaper. It showed the same temporal dithering behavior. I even tried disabling wallpaper compression to see if that would help, but nope. When I set a solid color as the wallpaper, it just vanished — what the heck?
If I had a window not in fullscreen, the wallpaper would dither and cause the window to dither too. I’m not sure where else this might be happening. I checked Edge briefly and didn’t notice anything right away. I also tried another default Windows 10 wallpaper — and there it went again, even on 1809.
I honestly don’t know what Microsoft is doing. I’m tired of switching GPUs and testing different Windows builds, so I think I’m done investigating Windows for now — unless there’s something else worth trying. I really don’t like how Windows is doing this, and I don’t trust it, so I’ll be sticking with CachyOS.
edit: I did also try the intel arc a770 and quadro k4200 which didnt make a difference. I also did use the EDID spoof option in the quadro driver and set the edid from the up2720q true 10 bit monitor but that didnt help, it just caused things to dither like crazy.
