To make the story short, the icons on my Windows 10 start menu are flickering in a way that at best, makes it hard to scroll through the list and at worst, makes it impossible to click anything. The image provided below was captured in the middle of the flickering.

I actually did that initially to solve an issue with my monitor's resolution, this problem has persisted even after updating drivers and restarting.

see if booting into safe mode makes any difference
go to settings/update & security/recovery
under advanced startup, click restart now
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up options
hit the restart button
choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
Pc will restart and load safe mode

what graphics card do you have?
could try this, and depending where you got Drivers from time before, choose to use Windows update to get new drivers or go to AMD/Nvidia and use theirs

I will try your process and get back to you. I have a GTX950SC and I updated the drivers through NVIDIA
