I need help the media creation tool didn’t work

Windows 10 desktop screen and taskbar keep refreshing ( Tried many ways but still failed )

Good day,
As the title mentioned, my desktop screen going crazy since yesterday night.

Below is how my laptop behave:

1. The desktop screen and taskbar keep refreshing for no reason.

2. Icons in the desktop screen are not visible but wallpaper is visible.

3. Start button in the taskbar hard to be triggered( High chances to pop up error message or remains silence after a long loading time ).

4. File explorer hard to be opened.

5. In the task manager screen, I can see explorer.exe keep restarting.

6. In the safe mode, the desktop screen and taskbar also keep refreshing, Start button in the taskbar and File explorer also hard to be triggered.

7. Command prompt is okay to be used and react fast.

8. I still able to start Chrome by using command line.

Below is what I have done after I research:

1. This problem can be solved by uninstalling iCloud, but my laptop don't have iCloud.

2. Uninstalling Norton also can fix the problem, but my laptop have only 360 Total Security

3. Uninstalling IDT Audio Driver also can do the trick, but my laptop using others driver.

4. System recovery done, but the problem is still there. ( last backup is 22 Sep 2017 )

5. Tried restarting laptop for few time, but problem still there. ( I know this method is useless but at least I tried )

[UPDATE 27 SEP 2017]

What I have tried:

1. sfc /scannow. No error found.

2. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. Restore done, but nothing changed.

3. Uninstalled 360 Total Security. Same result.

What I have found:

1. The refreshing problem stopped if the explorer.exe stopped via task manager, but the desktop interface and taskbar disappeared. ( I can still use task manager by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and use command prompt. )

2. My Windows Version is 1703. OS Build is 15063.608.

[UPDATE 28 SEP 2017]
Blue Screened.

As suggested by @Peter in the comment below, I trying to find the pdf file in my laptop to verify if it is like what Peter suggested. In the first try, the File Explorer stop responding and force stopped by system when I scroll slowly to find the pdf file. In the second try, the legendary blue screen popped out.

So as conclusion, if you reading this post and facing same problem like me, please follow what Peter suggested and uninstall Adobe Reader. Peace.

 

Explorer.exe, Desktop icons, and taskbar refreshing

Desktop icons, Taskbar, and Explorer.exe crashing in Windows 10

I have been have a constant problem where windows explorer, the taskbar, and my desktop icons keep refreshing. This happens constantly and it is very frustrating because I have no idea how to fix it. Whenever it refreshes, the taskbar goes blank and the
desktop icon disappears and I have to wait for about 5-15 seconds.

Some things you should know:

• I have windows 10, I used the free upgrade and I have been having graphics problems like OpenGL and some games not working
• I used a program 'called Driver Talent' to update my drivers,
  then the problem started
• Whenever I click the search icon, the windows icon, or Microsoft edge it says: Explorer.exe;
  Class not registered
• if I'm playing a game, let's say, Minecraft (windows 10 edition), then the game would suffer a huge lag spike until the taskbar is back
• I tried updating my drivers via devices manager, and unistalled Driver Talent, but the problem persisted
• I booted in Safe mode but it still keep reloading/refreshing
• Some windows programs like settings or file explorer crash when my computer refreshes

So you see, I have been trying to look for a solution but none of them seemed to work, someone please help me on this and if there is anything you need to know please ask me. I think the problem might be related to my drivers because it started when I "updated"
them with 'Driver Talent' and also I scanned my computer with Malwarebytes and Avast, but my computer checked clean.

Desktop, Taskbar, and Windows Explorer Refresh

Hello,

I did an upgrade then rolled back to Windows 7. I did a clean install of Windows 7 and then a clean install of Windows 10.

I have tried every conceivable Microsoft Community and third party website suggestion to fix the Desktop, Taskbar, and Windows Explorer Refresh after upgrading to Windows 10. I've done Windows Update, the CMD line suggestions, killing processes suggestion,
restart shift suggestions, safe mode suggestions, etc. Nothing stops the refresh described in the subject line.

Is there some sort of software patch that is needed? Is this a hardware issue conflicting with Windows 10 since I am using a Lenovo computer pre-installed with Windows 7 (I also have the Windows 7 purchased discs).

I haven't a clue how to resolve this issue but the issue is not going away, and I am increasingly frustrated. Windows 7 indicated that my computer was compatible with the Windows 10 upgrade. I am beginning to wonder if that is true.

Respects,

David
