Windows 10: Strange bug happens sometimes during computer use

This started around 30 to 40 minutes after I installed a software program named BYOND so I could play Space Station 13. During gameplay of space station 13 the mouse would temporarily stop working and the hardware remove sound would play like dun dun dun, dun dun dun... dun dun dun. It seemed to happen often. I used system restore to go back two hours and it still was there. Then I uninstalled the mouse driver and restarted the pc but it still happens sometimes. I don't know the frequency of how much it happens but it's there.

Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

Strange happenings

Hello,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I request you to uninstall and reinstall the latest keyboard driver from the computer’s website and see if that helps.

Step 1: un-install the driver:

Follow these steps.

a. Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.

b. Select Device Manager.

c. Find and double-click keyboard Driver from the left panel to uninstall

d. Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.

e. Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click OK to remove the driver.

f. After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

Step 2: Download the latest drivers compatible for Windows 10 from the manufacturer website.

Sound problems can be caused by cables that aren't connected properly, damaged drivers, incompatible drivers, sound settings, missing updates, and problems with your sound card.

I request you to follow the below steps:

remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.

d. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.



After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website.
