The last item may require an electrician to check the wiring connection in the first light in the string of lights as i have seen intermittent operation that clears up when the connection heats up.
Does this happen all the time, at all times of the day? Are there any other electronic controls on these lights (Alexa, Apple,Ring, etc.)? Are all the lights the same, all LED or all incandescent?
Not all bulbs can be used with dimmers. Make sure you have the correct bulbs. I am also having this problem in a spare room but I will be calling an electrician if the bulb change does not correct the problem.
