    igfxtray issues

    Have you tried disabling the Intel HD Graphics Tray App (igfxtray) from startup - it does not really serve any purpose, since you can access your Graphics setup by right clicking your Desktop at any time . . .

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

    Click on the Startup Tab

    See if igfxtray is listed there

    If it is, select it and click 'Disable'

    Close Task Manager

    Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter

    When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab

    Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'

    In the remaining list look for gfxtray, uncheck any you find

    Click Apply and OK

    Restart your System and this annoyance will be gone . . .

    Can't safely remove external disk

    In reference to the steps of your suggestions:

    • The issue is specific to the particular disk and it started after I've used the disk to save the System image backup (created with the Control Panel > File History tool).
    • I didn't disable any windows Service. I'm just wondering if there is any to disable.
    • Safe boot with networking, or clean boot doesn't resolve the issue.

    Thank you.
