I have submitted this issue a number of times and have been told it is my system, well that’s totally incorrect, I have recreated this bug on 3 different Windows 10 systems.

Flashing screens and images disappearing happen frequently if you do any amount of serious work with Shark.
How can the outline of an image be present but the image disappears???

I have a Blender file that has over 30 images in it and not once have I had a flashing screen or a crash because of time or images, yet Shark cannot go 1 hour without flashing screens and images disappearing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Craig

Tech support said that generally flashing screens are related to the video card/driver. They also mentioned that when you upgrade to Windows 10, the video driver that comes by default is not necessary the latest from the vendor. If you go to the manufacturer's website and manually update your driver you will then have the most current driver.

If you type DXDiag in the search bar and go into the Dx diagnostics tool, save this info and send to me. I'll forward to Todd/tech support and he will see if he can see anything unusual.

Hi again Tim,

I wanted to make sure your tech support understands that this is not a machine problem, the attached image was rendered in Blender.
There are 17 images in that scene, not one flashing screen, not one crash, not one Blender has stopped working box, yet Shark does it when I use 1 image on the same machine!

Hello Tim,

I always delete the ones it happens to, I will get a new one done for you and send it over via your email, it takes about 45 minutes for it to start happening.

Hi Tim,

your reply actually highlighted something I think is responsible for the developers not knowing what is wrong with the program they are developing.
I have no twitter, facebook or any other social media account, so when I work....................I work.

I have run many development centres and laboratories at universities and there is a common thread running through the world these days, people cannot concentrate on what they are doing for more than 15 minutes.

“Ok. I have some regression tools that I can set up to do random operations on the file for long durations.”

45 minutes is not a long duration Tim, sometimes I go 3 or 4 hours in one sitting and this is why I find the problems and the answers to what is causing the problems.
My last on site contract was with the world’s largest marketing company, I told them to stop all this twitter and facebook rubbish at work.
They did not listen and now their share price is in the sewage pit, they will be closed by the end of 2016.

We have people coming out of universities after 4 years of using Solidworks, they then take 7.5 hours to create 5 simple manufacturing drawings that I had to put through the shredder because they were not fit for the machine shop.
It took me less than an hour to output them with Shark from scratch.

If companies want to stop the slide into the abyss they have to stop this social media rubbish and start making people do their jobs.
People actually think they have a right to put their hands in customer’s pockets and then hang about on facebook while the customer tells them what wrong with their product!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill Gates and Microsoft started it but it is coming to a screeching halt as Microsoft realised and that’s why they started giving Windows 10 away, they realised the gravy train is over.

Without an example file with steps to repeat it is unfortunately difficult to track down.
