Yes... just can't put my finger on the thread.

Solutions...

update the drivers directly from the manufacturer
switch between OpenGL and/or DirectX ( Set display options—Properties of maps | ArcGIS Desktop )
check that your video exceeds the recommended requirements ( ArcGIS Pro 2.2 system requirements—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop )
reboot

Of course you might want to elaborate on what you were doing that led to this

Another user was experiencing this same issue and resolved it using the following steps - "Went into the Displays option with ArcGIS Pro and deleted the cache, changed Antialiasing mode to Best, Stereoscopic mode to off and checked the Enable hardware antialiasing option."

Hope this helps!

And to follow up with Robert's suggestion

How caching works—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

I never cache, but I have no need to

More than a year ago I encountered a similar problem and had to uninstall my display driver and then reinstall the driver from manufacturer. If you google this error message there are many suggestions on how to go about fixing it, I followed some of these and I ended up running a 3rd party app to uninstall display driver.
