Hi Ellielt,



Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I can understand how frustrating it could be when things go unusual. I will certainly help you.



We suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps:

Method 1:

We suggest you to install all the Windows Updates,
follow the steps below.

Step 1: At the Start screen, type
Windows Update.

Step 2: Select Check for Update.

Step 3: Download and Install the latest Windows Updates.

Method 2:

I would suggest you to run the Microsoft Security scanner for the issue and check.

The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.

Microsoft Safety Scanner Download - Windows security

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner
again. While scanning the hard drive if any bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair that sector, any data available on that might be lost



Method 3:

We suggest you to update all the drivers:

• 
  Press Windows Key + X key and click Device Manager.
  
• 
  Update all the drivers.
  
• 
  Download the drivers from manufacture's website for Windows 10, if there no drivers available for Windows 10, download the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website and
  try installing it in compatibility mode.
  Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.
  

Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.
• Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
  ‘properties’.
• Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.
