Windows 10: After an update that was done like a week ago, many annoying things started to happen.

For example: if my cursor stayed on anything for 2 seconds, it will select that something. Of i try to delete, for example, a folder, if will OPEN AND DELETE the folder! Another thing. I changed the screen scaling in hkey local machine from 4 to 3 so my old games will be on my entire screen. But that does not work anymore. Any help with these problems would be apreciated.

BSODs start from a week ago

Hello Phil,

Based on the information that we gathered on the dump file that you've provided, this can be due to an incompatible or outdated Intel driver on your device. In line with your concern, I'd like to ask you a few questions:

• Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

To isolate the issue, I'd suggest downloading the Intel Utility software on Intel's website to identify if there's some drivers that needs an update and fix compatibility issues.

In addition, we have an entire support article dedicated to repair blue screen errors that I’d recommend checking. To view this article, click on this
link and follow the path that's applicable to your concern.

Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

 

Program runs in background but not launching. Used to work a week ago.

Welcome to the TenForums @Black

Could I suggest you re-install in compatibility mode.

I would also suggest that after installing you completely shutdown Windows by holding shift key down and clicking shutdown. This bypasses Windows 10 Fast Start up and you get a fresh start of Windows.

If your software was developed and last maintained for XP this will happen more and more. Windows and all OS are evolving for functionality and security reasons. Really old software very well will run but the vendor will be the first to say it is not supported, meaning we won't fix.

Hopefully compatibility install will give it new life.

You could also try a system restore to say a week ago. You have a handle on what you installed, could you check Windows update history and see what Windows has installed. You can influence Windows software updates and you can stop driver updates.
