15" 2017 MacBook Pro Running High Sierra 10.13.4

Occasionally when I log on with Touch ID the display will start flickering out of control. If I am giving the computer some kind of user input it will momentarily stop flickering. However, if I was trying to read something on my screen it would be impossible and after a few seconds of rapid flickering the screen goes black until I move the mouse or type... then it repeats this cycle. It will go away if I restart my computer, but my Mac is less than 2 months old and I feel like I shouldn't have to deal with this issue. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How would I go about fixing it?


Thanks,

Thomas

Hello wtwinslow,


Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems you are having issues with the display on your MacBook Pro flickering, even though restarting temporarily fixes the issue. You can figure out if unexpected behavior is related to a user file or setting by trying to reproduce the issue from another user account. This process includes creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.

Next, reset the NVRAM and SMC on your MacBook Pro and test your issue again.
