ASUS TUF A15 506IU Screen Flickering

System: ASUS TUF A15 FA506IU (Ryzen 7 4800H, GTX 1660TI, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)
Battery or AC: Both
Model: FA506IU
Frequency of occurrence: Varies, as little as every few seconds
Reset OS: Yes

========================
Detailed description:I'm getting screen flickering on my new TUF A15 (received 6/17 from Amazon.com -- sold by Amazon). I have done many hours worth of troubleshooting and resets now, including:
A few factory resets
Using the original drivers, updating to the latest ASUS nVidia & AMD drivers, and updating to the latest game-ready NV drivers
Whenever I would reset the OS, it seemed to go away indicating to me it was a software issue. My first thought was drivers, but even when I did not update the drivers from factory it would still pop up, but I believe I have identified the issue.

Current config:
GeForce driver: 442.92 (Studio Driver), updated via GeForce Experience
AMD chipset driver: 26.20.14048.2 (Obtained from ASUS, used AMD cleanup utility in safe mode as prescribed)
All other drivers and BIOS are latest from ASUS
If I install Windows Sandbox (via Windows Features control panel), I get screen flickering. If I disable Windows Sandbox, I get no flickering. I also read that someone had the same issue with the Windows Hyper-V feature. It seems like there is some kind of conflict between the software/drivers on the A15 and Windows virtualization features. I've turned the feature on and off multiple times just to confirm, and invariable I get screen flickering when it is on.
is anyone else able to confirm this issue with virtualization features on the A15? If this is universally an issue, it's definitely something that needs a fix, at least for my usage.

I have 2 different TUF laptops: FA506IV-BR7N12 (RTX) and TUF506IU-ES74 (GTX). Running OpenSuSE Tumbleweed on both. That is the only distribution with a proper kernel and fixes after a release 20200630 works very stable.
Flickering occurs on TUF506IU-ES74 if I try to change a display refresh rate. Need to power cycle the laptop to get that away. It may occur also immediately after a restart.
No flickering on FA506IV-BR7N12 after most recent updates. Seems to be RTX model has no flickering problem.

I have model FA506II with Gtx 1650ti. The screen flickering like crazy when I was playing Fifa20. All the time. After I exit the game, to my horror, the Fifa 20 Main menu was totally imprinted on the screen like some burn in. It was crazy, i fixed that somehow by running some bright pictures etc. BUT FOUND THE CULPRIT. It was Adaptive Freesync in AMD graphics control panel. This display is the cheapest and worst Asus provided. Though it says Freesync compatible, I had to disable the Freesync and everything is fine now. No Flickering. Wtf! Asus. Don't false advertise someone might take u to court. Also FIX THIS SHIT if it is a driver issue.

Hi everyone! I sometimes get this issue when I use my laptop (ASUS TUF 506IH) on battery. Is there a fix for it? The brightness slightly changes randomly. It goes away after using it for some time, but it seems strange in the beginning.
It does not happen when plugged in. I think it has something to do with the integrated graphics since it only occurs on battery/
