The sims 4 top of the screen flickering (New Windows Update just installed)

[ Edited ]
★★ Novice

The top part of my screen is flickering on start up but in create a sim it's the whole screen flickering.

I've been playing the sims 4 for over a year now and I just updated my windows to the fall update and I go to play the sims 4 and the screen starts flickering like crazy. It's never been like this before. I don't believe I have a graphics card unless the defult one counts and if somebody could help me that would be great.

 

Thanks in Advance.

 

P.S. My driver model is WDDM 2.0

Hi @poksterdog

 

Your graphics is below minimum requirements your Dedicated memory is 112MB where 128MB is required. Increasing this will probably help. A tech savvy person can probably help you with that.
