Weird color glitch on startup

Sometimes when I turn on the laptop this weird colors welcome me. Anybody knows what’s the problem?

I temporary fix it with rebooting, and everything is normal.

GPU drivers? Give additional info, especially inxi -Fazy.

What with older kernels? See this solution:

I don’t have a file called 20-intel.conf

I removed that kernel and installed the 4.19 LTS Recommended one. The glitch is not appearing anymore.
