Screen Flickers While Runing On Battery

Computer screen starts flickering while running on the battery. It works fine when plugged in. Computer was shipped with Nvidia Graphic card. Customer already contacted with same issue multiple times & previous tech already tried updated the BIOS & Nvidia driver & changed the power option but it did not resolve. Changing the windows theme to basic also did not work.

While researching on this issue I came across an article which suggested that its due to intel  DISPLAY POWER SAVING TECHNOLOGY & we need to uncheck that option under graphic properties.

I updated the intel graphic driver & unchecked the above mentioned option & it resolves the issue on both computers. Below is the path to disable this option.

Graphics Properties > Advanced Mode >Power > Change the pull down menu on power source from 'Plugged in' to 'On Battery' and uncheck "Display power saving technology". Click OK.

Below is the image showing which option needed to be disabled.
