  1. Desktop lag


    Hello, i got brand new PC, with clean Windows 10 installed. I have installed some drivers for mouse, keyboard, headphones and Nvidia drivers. I also have steam installed. My problem is when every one of them is running in background it starts to lag my desktop. It isnt a performance issue, my PC is very high-end. I figured out that when I launch in safe mode, problem is gone. Also when I turn off one or more of the apps it is better. But... the odd thing is that when i click the show desktop button in the right down corner on taskbar when i am on desktop, the problem is gone, but i need to do it everytime i open any app. I think that it has something with overlays of steam and geforce experience. It isnt a big thing but it is annoying. Can you help me?

    • Press Windows Key + X.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • On the left pane, click on View All.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Desktop lag

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
