MacBook Pro screen flickering solution

Hello. Has anyone had random screen flickering running High Sierra10.13.4? This is a new issue that started last weekend and its now continuing. Only change to configuration was installing Office 2016 a few days before flickering started. Sometimes after opening the cover I am getting a pink screen before it loads the wallpaper...

Ok everyone. After spending a whole day on this issue and several hours with tech support, I had to reinstall OS 10.13.5. I was told it was probably an install issue. Of course reinstall is a couple hours. Still no fix. Deciding not to call again, I reinstalled 10.13.4 from a backup. Lost a month’s work which was not to bad because I use a Dropbox. I hope to try again, but not anytime soon.

Hi!

Wondering if yours got fixed? I went to Apple store for them to have a look at my MBP and of course my MBP didn't act up that time so they didn't want to take my laptop. When I got home and open the lid, it happened again. It happens randomly and because this laptop is not cheap, I am worried. Let me know if you were able to have yours fixed. I read a lot because of this issue and people are really frustrated because it seems like Apple has done nothing to resolve it.

I have had issues this since this past spring when I updated to High Sierra on my Mac Book Pro. My screen after closing the lid and unhooking from my daisy chained Thunderbolt displays would have small square boxes. I thought it would be fixed in an update to High Sierra but two or three updates, no fix. The computer would reboot after each time I had an issue, so the finger print login was useless, etc. After reading this thread I went ahead and tried Mojave Beta. That has fixed my issue. I believe most people that are having the issue are on High Sierra(new purchase issues or after upgrades.) I got my MacBook last fall and didn't have any issues on the OS before High Sierra.
