    Help with flashing Windows


    I've been searching the web and this forum for a few days now and I couldn't find the solution to my problems so I'm here in hope of finding the solutions.

    1. Whenever I open a window (e.g. downloads, etc.) the window flashes open and then closes and then reopens. It's pretty crazy. Sometimes when I close the window it will close and then immediately reopen. Windows 10 has been a headache so far. I tried all the troubleshooting (Sfc /scannow) and still this problem persist. I even uninstalled programs that I thought were causing these problem (e.g. Autohotkey, StrokesPlus) again the problems were still there. This only happens with CabinetWClass all other windows seems to work fine.

    2. I can't DnD files in the same folder to rearrange the order. I didn't have any of these problem before "upgrading" to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Ultimate 64.


    Thanks for any insight.

    :)

    I had the same problem. Go to folder options on view tab and untick the "Open each folder in its own window"

    It's probably not this, but have you tried a different mouse to eliminate the possibility of mouse button or mouse driver problems?

    I am guessing that since you say you have been searching this for days that you have rebooted your computer. I only say this because I had a similar problem wherein my folders were continually refreshing and a reboot fixed my problem.

    I'm having a similar issue. Every 30-60 seconds a small window will flash in the corner of the screen. It comes and goes to quickly to identify what it is. I tried disabling all the non-microsoft stuff in the startup portion of msconfig. Nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this. It is really annoying!

    Did that fix the issue? My issue corresponds to the following message in the event viewer:

    The server {79701C41-C345-47EC-B57C-02C39A698A0D} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout

    I did a scan with Malwarebytes and found some adware had found its way in. Removal of the adware files seems to have fixed my issue.

    Great, maybe you should also do a sfc /scannow as admin to make sure your files are in order.
