Explorer.exe, Desktop icons, and taskbar refreshing

Desktop icons, Taskbar, and Explorer.exe crashing in Windows 10

I have been have a constant problem where windows explorer, the taskbar, and my desktop icons keep refreshing. This happens constantly and it is very frustrating because I have no idea how to fix it. Whenever it refreshes, the taskbar goes blank and the
desktop icon disappears and I have to wait for about 5-15 seconds.

Some things you should know:

• I have windows 10, I used the free upgrade and I have been having graphics problems like OpenGL and some games not working
• I used a program 'called Driver Talent' to update my drivers,
  then the problem started
• Whenever I click the search icon, the windows icon, or Microsoft edge it says: Explorer.exe;
  Class not registered
• if I'm playing a game, let's say, Minecraft (windows 10 edition), then the game would suffer a huge lag spike until the taskbar is back
• I tried updating my drivers via devices manager, and unistalled Driver Talent, but the problem persisted
• I booted in Safe mode but it still keep reloading/refreshing
• Some windows programs like settings or file explorer crash when my computer refreshes

So you see, I have been trying to look for a solution but none of them seemed to work, someone please help me on this and if there is anything you need to know please ask me. I think the problem might be related to my drivers because it started when I "updated"
them with 'Driver Talent' and also I scanned my computer with Malwarebytes and Avast, but my computer checked clean.

Desktop constantly refreshing

Hi, some ideas here:
Windows 10 Taskbar and Desktop Constantly Refreshing - Microsoft Community
BEST FIX: Stop Windows 10 Taskbar and Desktop Refreshing - Appuals.com

Another observation:
Windows 10 Desktop Constant Refresh: how can I stop the constant refreshing? - Windows Central Forums
...had the constant refresh problem
Fixed it thus: First switching off WiFi, then right click on start button, select the shutdown sign off and select shutdown
Then boot pc as normal - leave to do all its stuff - suggest about a couple of minutes - switch wifi back on and all was as it should be.

Another:
Uninstall IDT Audio (if installed).

System Restore can be unreliable. Restore now doesn't work for me with a particular message which has rarely been reported.

Having read the above, if no help, then basics:
a. Does it happen in Safe Mode?
b. Does it happen after a clean boot?

 

Desktop, Taskbar, and Windows Explorer Refresh

Hello,

I did an upgrade then rolled back to Windows 7. I did a clean install of Windows 7 and then a clean install of Windows 10.

I have tried every conceivable Microsoft Community and third party website suggestion to fix the Desktop, Taskbar, and Windows Explorer Refresh after upgrading to Windows 10. I've done Windows Update, the CMD line suggestions, killing processes suggestion,
restart shift suggestions, safe mode suggestions, etc. Nothing stops the refresh described in the subject line.

Is there some sort of software patch that is needed? Is this a hardware issue conflicting with Windows 10 since I am using a Lenovo computer pre-installed with Windows 7 (I also have the Windows 7 purchased discs).

I haven't a clue how to resolve this issue but the issue is not going away, and I am increasingly frustrated. Windows 7 indicated that my computer was compatible with the Windows 10 upgrade. I am beginning to wonder if that is true.

Respects,

David
