Windows 10: Computer glitching/lagging/distortion help!

Hi there,


The computer seems fine at first, but after a while under a "little" stress, say playing music for 15 minutes or zoom or similar, the audio/video glitches, lags and becomes distorted. This is not limited to just audio, it happens with the mouse cursor too. I don't even really know where to start here.....


Any ideas?


Many thanks for your help!

Glitches in file explorer, distorted text and images. URGENT


So I seriously just got a new computer a day ago and it started making these glitches that no one in the internet seems to know what they are, basically when scaling the windows file explores, it starts glitching the text and images, almost making it look like a hebrew font or something, any help would be appreciated!

(yes I updated the drivers 200000 times)

Thanks.

 

sound distorted after windows 10 anniversary upgrade

This is where I'm at on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and the Anniversary update.

I completed step #3 "hardware and sound" but that took me to an option for "sound, speakers." There was no "properties" as step #4 suggests. I selected "sound, speakers" and then found "properties." After selecting "properties" there was no "enhancements
tab" as step #5 suggests.

Regardless, I then uninstalled the realtek audio driver. I noticed that when I did this without restarting my laptop that the sound was now tinny, but not distorted as it was previously. After restarting, the sound was again full, yet distorted.

Realtek still shows in my programs list, though it shows no memory is used.

Thanks for your continued help.

 

Mouse Lag & Sound Distortion

WinVer 2004
After several days since last boot, I start to notice mouse lag, almost like a stutter (Logitech M510 wireless mouse). Also, system sounds are increasingly distorted; e.g. when starting a reboot with an open application, I get the Windows chime that accompanies the warning message. That chime is quite distorted. The reboot, however, clears the mouse lag problem and if I reboot again right away, the message chime is clear.
Any clues? It's not a major issue since a reboot solves it but I'm curious if there's a setting somewhere that's the culprit
