" rel="nofollow - Hi, I have Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 1607 (build 14393.321) I am having a problem every now and then with the icons on the lower task bar. The idea is they are shown when a program is active and every actrive screen for that program is shown when chovering over the icon. This all works fine but.. When one clicks a screen thumb, the screen is supposed to fully open so one can work on it. This does not work. When clicked the thumbs quickly flash and I am unable toget the program open. This was also a problem in Win 7 before I upgraded. Maybe it is a graphics card problem so I have shown my specs... Would appreciate any help please? oz Board: ASRock 880GM-LE FX Bus Clock: 200 megahertz BIOS: American Megatrends Inc.

" rel="nofollow - When you upgraded, did you use the upgrade option or did you perform a fresh install? I am going to guess you upgraded in which case the problem would have been inherited from windows 7. -------------

" rel="nofollow - Yes I did update via 7 but what could it be causing this? You think not a hardware problem? I tried another graphics card in the PCIe and the box wouldn't even get to the initial Asrock green screen. Just black and stayed there. Any ideas please? |

First up, go into safe mode and use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and remove your graphics drivers. Then boot back into normal mode and download and install the latest drivers for your graphics card for windows 10. As for the other GPU not working there could be any number of reasons. If it is a concern for you then install it again and try clearing CMOS before powering the system on. If that does not work you also have to bare in mind that older motherboards may not be compatible with newer GPUs without a BIOS update. Honestly, if your current GPU is booting then it most likely isn't a hardware issue. I would start with removing and reinstalling display drivers as I suggested above. In most upgrade situations from windows 7/8 to windows 10 there are problems, it is one of the reasons MS changed the license system so people can perform fresh installs simply using the previous version's key. -------------
