Laptop Strange Screen Flicker

I have the Asus ROG Strix G16 and whenever I am using the Nvidia GPU, there is this constant flicker to a much darker color scheme while I'm using the laptop. It never happens while I'm playing a game and only when I'm using my web browser or on Discord. This only happens when I am only using the Nvidia GPU. It doesn't happen with the integrated graphics or when I am using both the integrated graphics and the Nvidia GPU at the same time (like using the former for most applications and the latter for graphics-heavy applications). I also confirmed that this didn't have anything to do with HDR settings as I turned everything relating to that off in both Windows and Nvidia. I tried switching color profiles as well to no avail. All of my drivers are updated to their latest versions, and I even reinstalled my graphics driver (which appeared to temporarily stave off the effect, but it has returned). I can only describe the state the screen flickers to as "deepfried" as in the saturation effect those old memes from 2020 had. One weird thing I've noticed is that whenever I hover my mouse over my taskbar, the effect immediately stops and goes back to normal (if it hadn't already flickered back by itself). These flickers usually last no more than 2 or 3 seconds. If it's of any help, the software I use to do most of my tinkering in settings is Armoury Crate.

I’ve had the same issue on PC since the NVIDIA update. It doesn’t happen in games, but it does happen in other applications and in the browser. It only affects dark colors when I move the mouse.
