Windows 10: Laptop Screen is Dull, Taskbar & Desktop keeps refreshing, and wifi became slow

Hi! Yesterday afternoon, I decided to switch from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Home on my laptop. There wasn't any problem installing it, but it's kinda laggy I'm used to it, so no problem. The only problem is that my screen becomes washed out, not really washed out, but it lacks color. I tried to install my Nvidia graphics since I realized that I didn't have it on the desktop. Unfortunately, it was downloading so slowly. I tried to connect to our other wifi but I couldn't see it. I've restarted many times, but it's still dull, refreshing, and slow wifi.

Dull screen needs help

Bulldogxx I tried both ways suggested the article that offered step by step and neither system solved the dull colors, dull screen problem. All they did was rearrange my desktop. Any other suggestions?

Sorry about the sassy rejoinder to your sassy remark, I think they are both funny now that I am old and don't take myself seriously.

 

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.

 

Screen and taskbar keeps refreshing

I installed an update yesterday but it got stuck at 35% with a message saying "updates are underway keep your computer on", today i restarted my laptop and now the taskbar and screen keeps refreshing and I'm unable to perform any actions because it keeps refreshing in 3-4 seconds. I know this is a windows11 issue because my lockscreen in complete fine and I can even load the boot manager
