Significant screen tearing on Precision 5680

Hi all, I am getting pretty significant screen tearing on my 5680 watching videos off of YouTube. It's really bad when I maximize the video screen, almost unwatchable. I have several other laptops that have 60Hz screens and none of them do this.

I did enable Frame Synchronization in the Intel Graphics Software settings, and set it to Smooth Sync--both VSync and SmartSync did not help.

Again, my other DELL laptops that have 60Hz screens did not require this setting to be enabled.

All drivers are up to date according the DELL update, Windows 11 update and the Intel software.

Thoughts?

Does it happen if you use a different browser (Edge instead of Chrome or the reverse)?

Yes, it was doing it in all browsers. Weirdly it suddenly stopped though. I was flipping many switches and ticking many radio buttons, so I must have done something that fixed it. Weird.
