What's Wrong?
There is a bug in the windows app. On an HDR screen with auto colour balance, the screen keeps flickering if the cursor is inside the claude desktop app. There is a colour related issue. It does not matter if HDR is switched off or on, the colour keeps flickering and it is jarring to use.
This is not related to claude code, but this is the only help offered by the in-app support chat
