UE4 editor window is shaking and jittering

The problem: from UE version of 4.23 and higher the editor window starts shaking and jittering

  • once on startup when the editor itself is opened
  • once when another tab is opened (blueprint, editor preferences, project settings etc.)
  • continuously when it is behind another window (any window - related to UE like blueprints, editor preferences, project settings and completely unrelated to UE like a folder in Windows explorer) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-vvmhhf-Dk

I only managed to capture it using my mobile phone camera because the shaking and jittering stops when recording the screen.
Does anyone have a solution to this? I have tried

  • verifying unreal engine files
  • disabling Window Animations in editor preferences
  • updating my video card drivers

I have checked it on 4.23.1, 4.24.3, 4.25.4, 4.26.0 versions and it is all the same. Everything works fine on lower versions.

Have you found any sort of solution to this?
I am having a similar issue while using my second monitor. I’m not sure if it’s relevant but I have the screen resolution set to lower than the monitor’s native resolution because the machine I am working from can’t handle 4k very well. But the screen seems to dance intermittently, the same as your video.
