    Why is audio constantly refreshing?


    Hello, I am trying to watch a video and my audio is constantly refreshing and muting/unmuting. This makes watching anything impossible. When I try and go into the device manager, I get a similar problem where the device manager is constantly refreshing as well? Has anyone had a similar problem?

    :)

    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?

    Why is audio constantly refreshing?

    My pc is constantly refreshing

    No problem.

    Windows itself is starting, right?

    Is it just constantly refreshing the interface?

    When pressing "Ctrl + Shift + Esc", does the Task Manager open?

    Is Task Manager stable? Is it possible to interact with it?

    Sorry for asking too many questions. I just want to be sure what exactly is going on and know what to suggest to fix the problem.
