Laptop Screen Flicker

Got the Lenovo Legion 5, 260 + 5060.

Alright so the flicker occurs at two different times, either during the final final stage of shutting down the laptop, so right at the end, or it occurs when the screen is timed out (not sleep mode) and the background wallpaper happens to change. These two occasions are when I notice the flicker.. it seems abrupt per say..

And I believe this started happening after I updated to the most recent Nvidia driver (596.36). Is anyone else also facing this issue?
