Flashing colors on the desktop

Hi 👋

my MacBook Pro M3 Pro started to have this strange issue when I would open the photos app for example and then the flashing/flickering colors would appear and it would stay like that for few minutes then get back to normal but photos won’t load until I force close it and reopen again.


this happend twice so far, once with the photos app and the other time with adobe inDesign.


anyone know what’s causing it?


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.3

A little disconcerting —


On a brand new M3 I would call Apple Support or AppleCare Support and get this on your official "record" in case of any future down stream related issues that do not resolve themselves.


Call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)

or on line https://getsupport.apple.com/

or call AppleCare Support at 1-800-APLCARE (800-275-2273)



I would also be incline to file a bug report to be proactive —

file a bug report /submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple
