When you notice these flashes? I mean, always or only when a specific menu is in sight(example, in the scenario selection menu)?
Just about always and it occurs at random times ,seems to anyways. I am not too concerned iut doesn't seem to bother anything. I will keep an eye on it.
So - is rhe common thread here:
- All experiencing it when in full screen DirectX mode
- all have a laptop
- All have therefore some sort of power management routine going on (unlike most desktops)

If so - is it happening when running on battery or mains or both?

if so - what happens if you run off mains and shut all power-management stuff off temporarily?

if the problem then goes away, it would seem to be related to an interaction between full screen DirectX and the power management system on (some?) laptops.

Just a wild guess, but I wonder if it's the case?
