flickering video on full screen after update Monterey

When playing netflix, cinemember or other filmstreams, on full screen the screen starts flickering. On Safari it flickers white, on firefox it flickers to dark. It started after the upgrade to Monterey.

If i use a second screen it plays fine.

If i use the laptop in 'safe mode' it works fine.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

2,7 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5

8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB

What to do?

EsRoots,

Thanks for the update. The next step will be to remove any login items from your Mac's user account, then restart normally, being sure to uncheck the option to "reopen windows when logging back in".

Remove login items to resolve startup problems on your Mac

Cheers.

It is your call. Etrecheck is the best way to provide information so people here can help.

It was created by a major contributor to this community for this very purpose.

Being in the App Store is no guarantee of quality or safety - one of the worst offenders that has wreaked havoc on hundreds of macs is in the App Store. Maybe you fell for it, as many have.

Thank you, but unfortunately it did not help. What now? Both Firefox and Safari show flickering in full screen mode.

I don't have etrecheck, and it's not available on Appstore. I don't download anything from outside the appstore. Is there another way to provide the requested info?
