How can I fix my surface? (Screen flashing, can't click or open app, all after windows 10 upgrade)

[Windows Central Question]

I upgraded to Windows 10 a few days ago and things seemed to be working okay. Not perfect, but my computer was still working. Today, I was in the middle of an update when the screen started flashing on it off and everything stopped. So I restarted my computer. Unfortunately, that didn't help. Now, I've tried turning it on and off, restarting and every time it logs in.. All it can do is flash. I can't click any apps or programs. How can I fix this?

What type of Surface do you have?

Assuming you have a Surface 3 or any of the Pro versions, I'd try a refresh.
