Windows 10: Window Explorer explorer.exe freezes on startup with two different high refresh rate...

I have two monitors both 1080p one is 280hz connected with Display Port 1.2 the other is 144hz connected with DVI-D.

If I have the Display Port monitor set as my primary display, windows explorer freezes when I start up my computer and log in, I then restart it in task manager and it works fine. If I have the DVI-D monitor set as my primary display it works fine, however if I change the DP monitor to my primary display windows explorer also freezes just like if I had restarted my computer with the DP monitor as my primary display.


Everything works just fine if I only have one of them plugged in even if it is using DP.


I have a NVIDIA GTX 970 using the latest NVIDIA graphics drivers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics drivers, nothing changed. I am using Windows 10 Pro. Please ask for any more useful information.

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

 

Refresh rate Problem

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Screen refresh rate is the rate at which the data displayed on screen is refreshed; it may be an image or some text document. Most of the users would like to set it to a higher rate but this also depends on the capacity of graphic
card and monitors. If the refresh rate is slow, the images on the display looks as flickering to the user eye and makes it uncomfortable to work.

Nowadays the latest monitors available in market will have minimum 60 Hz of refresh rate and it is very good option to set it to 70 Hz if you your monitor is compatible. Normally a high performance or quality monitors can reach
120 Hz of refresh rate. So I would suggest you to set your monitor refresh rate as higher as possible, below given steps describes how to access this feature on your Windows 8.1/10 PC.

• The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports.
• If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged.
• Changes to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.

I would, as of now, suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's support website and install the latest display and chipset drivers available for the latest operating system (currently it would be 8.1 in the list).

Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.
