Windows 10: Recurring graphical artifacts on taskbar

Recently I've been having an issue with some small graphical artifacts on my taskbar. They appear in the exact same place each time. I don't think it's an issue with my GPU, considering they show up on screenshots (see attachments).

This problem only started after I had to reinstall Win 10 after a botched Ubuntu install.

It's not a huge problem but I want to get it fixed in case it becomes more serious.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the artifacts disappear when I mouse over the taskbar icons. It varies, but they usually reappear after around 30 minutes to an hour.

Graphics artifacting on desktop...?


Hey all - just installed Win10 on an HP DCS5800 Slim desktop with an Intel Q33 graphics card. Windows 10 seems to run fine, but I am getting graphical artifacting on text and images everywhere. I've tried checking the drivers, but the newest drivers listed on the Intel site are older than the ones that Windows 10 installed during it's upgrade from Win7...

Example screenshot:



(Screenshot is a low resolution because I just have an old CRT hooked up to do the upgrade, the owner of the computer has a newer LCD monitor)

Is there a setting in Windows I can try disabling to get this issue solved? The computer belongs to an elderly lady with poor eyesight, so this just won't do.....any ideas are appreciated!

 

Graphics artifacting on desktop...?

You mean this? Intel 82Q33 Graphics and Memory Controller) Specifications
A seh for "Graphics Drivers for Intel® Q33 Express Chipset" in Intel Download Center yields it ....

*Arrow Drivers Software

Also, HP Compaq dc5800 Microtower PC does not contain Windows 10 in its Operating System's dropdown list.

No graphics driver for windows 10. Probably that is the reason behind the screen artifacts.
