Windows 10: Focus broken?

I run Windows 10 pro and a couple VMs within it using VirtualBox.

They are all suffering the same issue.

The windows button bottom left of screen disappears and all highlight/focus ability is lost.

I can’t tell what I’ve highlighted as it doesn’t do it.

If I click on files/folders the bottom of the window shows how big / how many items. Then if I click something else. It’s like the text of the new amount of items / size is overlaid over the previous and can repeat until it’s black garbled mess.

Any ideas on what I can do to fix it?

Edit to add

It doesn’t do it straight away. It’s after a day or two.

A reboot cures it till it comes back.

Is my graphics card broken?

UPDATE: Please see here.

I have a Sapphire HD 4830.

When I boot into XP all is initially fine and I am able to see the desktop.

However, when I click on the start bar and navigate a few steps, I receive an immediate white screen of death and a total irrecoverable lock-up.

I am confused about what this could mean and I would be grateful for any suggestions on the best course of action to test and repair the problem.

Does this sort of issue suggest that the graphics card is irretrievably broken?

 

Random explorer.exe stealing focus


This was an upgrade over W8.1.

Only basically happens once, shortly after booting. Only time Thunderbird came to the front was when I was doing a reply. Otherwise I can't tell where the focus went.

I have WinPatrol running and it has the Startup list and other uses. There is nothing I can see that would even suggest that would be happening. McAfee Live Safe is my Security Suite and its scans find nothing. I've also run Hijack Hunter too.

I hope the FOCUS program will shed some light on this. The other program I needed to set the time limit for it to run but it never caught it.

 

Hindi fonts broken in IE?

I am using IE on Samsung Focus (ATT). When non-english websites (e.g. bhaskar.com) are visited, the page doesn't show hindi fonts. It just shows boxes (broken fonts). Is it a known issue? Is there any workaround?
