When starting Minecraft Education on Chromebooks many students are running into a flickering screen or just a black screen. I have found a work around for some but usually requires a powerwash for most. I cannot figure out the reason why it does this. Please advise.

Specs: Dell Chromebook 3100 P29T

4gb 2400 lpddr4

16gb EMMC

  If it doesn't work then I guess I'll just go back to playing Minecraft and Ratchet and Clank Ps2

  I did what Rodney Woodward suggested above. It is the only work around that seems to get rid of this issue:

   

  Screen Flicker Quick Work Around:

  Issue appears to be in using Minecraft Education for Chromebooks in 'fullscreen' mode. 

  Take your Minecraft out of full screen mode.   You can then resize by dragging the Minecraft window as large as you want, but do not use the full screen button.

  Same here. Any solution found? I know it is possible to use it in windowed mode, but it's not ideal. Any idea of the real problem behind it?

  Hi there Shaun Laqeretabua. I'm sorry to hear that this is happening on your Chromebooks. Are all your devices updated to the most recent version of ChromeOS? Likewise, are your students running other apps when this happens, and how long has it been happening? Just let us know.
