Windows 10: Windows 10 - Graphics? Related Applications Not Working

Hello,


To me, this was random and out of nowhere. A bunch of my applications stopped working and become unresponsive and or crash once opened. The first thing I noticed was I would get a pop up for Adobe Creative Cloud saying it had to be uninstalled or repaired. Once clicking repair, it fixed the issue, allowing the below applications to work again but only for a day or so then the repair button no longer resolved the issue. I am not sure how or when but Adobe Creative Cloud is not on my PC anymore.


Microsoft Edge

Hearthstone Game

Paint

Snippet Tool

Adobe Cloud

My audio no longer works

Unable to uninstall applications in Control Panel


With the time change, my PC didn't even update automatically. When I try to update the clock manually, it crashes when I am going to click on the hour.

When I try to select a restore point, it crashes before I can click.


It seems like it is anything related to graphics or something, I am not sure. Things that do work are: Calculator, Google Chrome and Windows Update.


Is anybody dealing with the same issues? Thank you.

:)

Custom Driver : Intel HD Graphics & ATI Combo (Alpha) - by nIGHTmAYOR

according to laptop support page they do list an old downloadable driver for intel for windows 7 , weather this is related to there being several variants of that laptop or this laptop has switchable graphics i may just suggest you reset the bios and see if things change , if yes you may be able to apply step 2 , if not then apply step 4 and call it today , you are still better off being on the high performance gpu .

Out of curiosity can you take a snap shot from Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and click the “Graphics Settings” ?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
