Hello, I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? When watching Apple TV and Quicktime in full screen, the whole screen cuts out with black flickering. I've tried doing all updates and nothings changed. The weird thing is with the Apple TV is that if I watch a trailer for a show or movie, it doesn't do it. But as soon as I'm actually streaming the show/movie...it happens. If this has happened to you, what's the fix? It makes using Apple TV and Quicktime pretty much unusable

It's not mine but here's a video of someone having a similar experience. Mine is the same except it's black flickering and much more intense.

 
It's a bug in the Intel GPU drivers or windows server. It happens when it switch from the optimised windows server mode that display only video to the normal one that display video + subtitles in this case.
It seems fixed in macOS 11.
