    At random times Microssoft Edge will apparently open an invisible window. I can tell it happens because can hear a youtube video playing even with no window open. can also see the video name on the popup when go to turn the volume down when it happens.This happens when Edge is not even turned on. I have disabled Edge in the startup menu and go into Edge's settings and done the similar.As shown in the upload, Edge is not active under apps yet there is several instances under processes. Whwn I shut down those processes, the "video" does stop playing but will return around 20ish minutes latter a

    Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

    I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

    Mouse hits an invisible wall at random

    Heya TPU, I'm back with another mouse problem!

    Since this thread happened (which turns out to be something Win 7 specific, so I believe the HID drivers may cause it) my GF has won herself a Razer Starcraft II set with a keyboard, mouse and headset.

    Woo! Glowy goodness! *Rockout :rockout:

    Yeah, that set rocks. But since she got it, at random times, which is VERY annoying when you're mid-game, the cursor seems to hit an invisible wall and you can't move it further to the left (or right, depending where the "wall" is) but you can move it in the other three directions. Usually this stops halfway a tantrum, so about 5 seconds I guess.

    Tried different USB ports, and the sensor is clean as a baby's bum.

    Symptoms:
    • Occurs with 3 different mice
    • Happens in-game and on desktop
    • Happens at random times, but regularly enough to not be able to play a game of LoL (30-50 minutes) without bugging.
    • Happens since around the time she got the set (sep. 10th)
    • It's really like you're on the edge of your screen, but you're not.
    This is what I'm going to try when I get home:
    • Remove all Windows Updates up to Sep 10th
    • Check if the HID driver was updated
    • Boot into clean/safe modes
    • Clean/revert Geforce drivers to older versions
    • Check motherboard USB drivers
    • Update AMD USB drivers
    • Try resetting resolutions to see if that helps
    • Check if the problems happen on monitor 2 as well
    • Check if the problems happen with only 1 monitor
    And of course, some relevant system specs:
    • Phenom II X4 925
    • I *think* a GA-MA790FXT-UD5P (but I *know* it's Gigabyte, AM3, 790 chipset and SB750)
    • Win 7 UK x64 Home Premium
    • 8 giggles of ram-jam
    • Geforce GTX 260 (forgot the brand, but it looks reference)
    • Tried with the Razer Spectre, Roccat Pyra and a wireless Logitech mouse thingy we use on the Media Center.
    Anyone who can give me more ideas?

    random invisible startups

    Startup programs not launching on startup

    Replying to Brink none of that works here is why-
    Step 1- No items listed in startup on task manager as stated.
    Step 2- I dont have shell:Startup on the pc as it cannot be located
    Step 3- I dont understand that option also the startup folder cannot be found
    Step 4- No apps showing under startup on settings
    Step 5- Dont have access to advanced options at all for any apps
    Step 6- Doesn't work.

    Thanks for trying

    - - - Updated - - -
    @dalchina, Will try the program now and no I have no suitable restore points and also nothing that I am aware of has been updated besides for Windows Updates but nothing major. WIll respond once I try the program.
