It's a
HP 15-dk1035nr 15.6" Pavilion Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i5-10300H - Nvidia GeForce GTX1050
It's connected to a ASUS monitor that has the GTX1050 on that screen and the laptop has the intel

Have you run the support assistant and checked you have newest drivers?

the way laptops work is the Intel gpu be used for running desktop and probably 2nd monitors, the Nvidia card only used for graphically intense programs/games. So the Intel CPU is running the monitor, its likely it needs new drivers.

I installed the new drivers, nothing really has changed.

That can't be artifacting. He's posted a Windows screenshot, and the dots are showing up in the screenshot. That means that Windows is actually rendering those dots since a screenshot bypasses the display path of your graphics hardware; they're not an artifact of an overheating GPU or bad VRAM. In other words, it's a software problem.

My guess would be some type of 3rd party program installed which is trying to alter the display, which is adding the dots. Try booting into safe mode and see if the dots still appear. If they're gone, then you're going to have to go through the list of programs and utilities which normally load when the computer starts, and figure out which one is the culprit.

Dots appearing on screen

So I thought I would post here as having little luck with internet searches. I bought a new computer about a month ago (custom build but built by a company rather than myself). After using the computer without issues since being bought randomly today a problem cropped up: Dots have started...

Try a clean boot and see if it changes anything - make sure to read instructions and make sure NOT to disable any microsoft services or windows won't load right - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

if clean boot fixes it, it shows its likely a startup program. You should, over a number of startups. restart the programs you stopped to isolate the one that is to blame.
