Hello,

I am trying to use Kali live boot with persistence on a USB stick. The persistence saves my files as it should, but my screen is garbled with weird colors on applications and buttons on the screen. I have attached several pictures to show what I mean. The installer and live boot also work correctly, and the only time that screen looks messed up is when I am logged in, and I have installed or update new files. For example, when I am in the lock screen, the screen looks normal. Also, when I first setup persistence and boot it up, it looks fine. Once I add a folder ?Test?, or ?Will it stay?? and reboot the computer, the screen gets glitchy again. I have retried setting up persistence on the drive multiple times (using online sources such as: https://www.kali.org/docs/usb/kali-linux-live-usb-persistence/ (https://www.kali.org/docs/usb/kali-linux-live-usb-persistence/)), and I have even reformatted the entire drive and recreated the Kali live boot (With Rufus as well as Ubuntu?s built in program). I have looked as far as I can on the web to find a solution and have not been able to fix this. Any help would be appreciated, and I would enjoy being to able use persistence without having to install Kali on my computer.

This is my computer (where I bought it from): https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-Ideapad-330s-15-6-Laptop-Windows-10-AMD-Ryzen-5-2500U-Quad-Core-Processor-8GB-Memory-256GB-Storage-Platinum-Grey-81FB00HKUS/273186587 (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-Ideapad-330s-15-6-Laptop-Windows-10-AMD-Ryzen-5-2500U-Quad-Core-Processor-8GB-Memory-256GB-Storage-Platinum-Grey-81FB00HKUS/273186587)

It is a lenovo 81FB. I am currently running 64 bit Windows 10 as the main operating system.

Thank you for all your help!
