Windows 10: Desktop Crashing/Refreshing Constantly?

Hey! Hopefully this isn't against the rules but I can't exactly find the problem I have online.

I tend to save a lot of things to my desktop while I'm working on them, which is bad practice so maybe I just need to stop doing it, but basically every time something in my desktop changes (usually when I add a file) it doesn't show until I click the desktop, then it goes grey for a second, turns black and refreshes. It's really annoying. I have 3 monitors, a i7-7700k, and two 1080TIs. It just seems very odd that I can run games on ultra but my computer struggles to load a single file on the desktop

Desktop constantly refreshing

Hi, some ideas here:
Windows 10 Taskbar and Desktop Constantly Refreshing - Microsoft Community
BEST FIX: Stop Windows 10 Taskbar and Desktop Refreshing - Appuals.com

Another observation:
Windows 10 Desktop Constant Refresh: how can I stop the constant refreshing? - Windows Central Forums
...had the constant refresh problem
Fixed it thus: First switching off WiFi, then right click on start button, select the shutdown sign off and select shutdown
Then boot pc as normal - leave to do all its stuff - suggest about a couple of minutes - switch wifi back on and all was as it should be.

Another:
Uninstall IDT Audio (if installed).

System Restore can be unreliable. Restore now doesn't work for me with a particular message which has rarely been reported.

Having read the above, if no help, then basics:
a. Does it happen in Safe Mode?
b. Does it happen after a clean boot?

 

Desktop and Toolbar constantly refreshing


Hi.
had a same problem with fresh upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Windows desktop and explorer keeps constantly refreshing every 40-60 seconds.
Solved.
My problem was in High Definition audio drivers. Error was cousing file RTSndMgr.cpl.
Unninstal drivers and restart windows 10. Win 10 then innstals auto drivers for your sound and thats it. Event wiever did not report any errors.

 

Desktop refreshes constantly and other issues.

Hello. After months of normal use, I booted yesterday my pc and when I logged into my profile, the desktop started flashing constantly, like it's refreshing every 2 seconds. My cursor is a constant spinning wheel, and I can't click anything. I also noticed
that the disk usage is at 100 mostly.

I opened the task manager (which also refreshes a long with everything on it's list). I tried safe mode and the issues remain.

I tried many things I saw in forums is similar situations and nothing worked.

I tried the options to fix on reboot, downgrading to former version of Windows , commands, restoring with my files intact and even a hard reset (deleting all of my files).

All the procedures failed. Every helping option ended to an error message. I even got an error on the hard reset that said it was cancelled.

Is this malware?
