macOS Tahoe Bug Causes Studio Display Flickering Issues

I just had this happen the last couple days. Was worried my Studio Display might be failing. Hope it’s just software
I have a ASD tethered to an M2 MBP and have had all three versions of the Tahoe Beta, no issues so far.
Why don't you report about the iPhone 17 Pro Max crackling coilwhine noises it makes when charging?
I have seen it also but not sure any specific time it happens. Although I do think it has something to do with launching apps for me sometimes but seen it in other situations also.
Same here.. I turned off every auto adjustment feature and it still happened. Subtle but still frustrating.
I have a work M1 on 26.2 and haven't observed the issue with my MSD. However, I have noticed on my personal M4 with no external monitor intermittent shimmering now/again that made me wonder about a hardware display problem.
That is actually a more accurate description of the issue, it’s not really a flicker but a pulsing temperature change. I don’t have the clock seconds on and I still have the issue.
Over at the Mac Observer web site they have a complete ( so far ) list of all known iOS 26.x bugs and fixes as well as a list for iPadOS 26.x bugs and fixes. I haven’t yet found one for MacOS yet.
They list 77…..SEVENTY SEVEN…known iOS bugs with fixes. 26 is an unmitigated disaster on all Apple platforms. If you’re able and haven’t yet upgraded to 26…go right now and sign up for a free Apple Beta Test account. After you do that turn off ALL automatic updates in Settings/General/Software Updates. Reboot or log back into your device and go back to Settings/General/Software Updates and look for the new toggle “Beta Updates”. Toggle that “On” and let it cycle for a second. You will then see a choice of Tahoe or Sequoia. Choose Sequoia. After a second or two you will see only Sequoia as a choice. That’s it . You’ll never see another nag screen for Tahoe until you turn off the “Beta Update” switch. You’ll only ever get Sequoia updates….not 26.
For those unfortunate enough to have either willfully upgraded or were forced by Apple here is the link to the Mac Observer page with all of iOS 26 fixes so far.

difficult to test every permutation even when you know all of them, I suspect there are setups in existence of which apple engineers never dreamed
I reluctantly upgraded to 15.7.3 and will literally never “upgrade” again
macOS is as bad as windows now. no more quality control, theyre just shoving out features as fast as possible to appease shareholders
