The Windows 10 kernel renders the screen differently to the Linux kernel. So some hardware problems manifest only in Linux and not in Windows. I guess that suggests the i915 Linux kernel driver could do better in signal error handling, like Windows. I remember thinking the same when I had a similar LCD panel fault some time ago.
Yes, unfortunately that is also my experience...
