    So for the past couple months I've been having this issue where my all my windows, browsers, and desktop refresh and reboots. I know it has something to do with the GPU or graphics but I'm not sure what is up. I've reinstalled my graphics drivers but that hasn't helped either. When I was using Wallpaper engine and it did it today, it gave me this error and closed the program:

    I have a Zotac GTX 1080 Mini so I'm not sure why it was say DirectX 10 is not supported.

    Folder that was supposedly deleted shows up in Explorer

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    This issue may happen due to system file corruption. I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow
    the below given steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

    • In Command prompt type
      sfc /scannow
      and press enter.

    • Restart the computer.

      If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

    • Open command prompt by pressing
      Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
    Keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

  3. Internet Explorer won't start

    Since it's not allowing you to open the settings of the Internet Explorer itself, we suggest that you type inetcpl.cpl on
    the search box to open the Internet Properties and follow the steps provided on the link that we have on our previous post.

    Note: In doing this you can now skip step 1 under Reset Internet Explorer settings.

    If the issue persists, we recommend that you uninstall and reinstall the Internet Explorer.
    To do this, follow the steps below:

    To uninstall the Internet Explorer, follow the steps below:


    • Click the Start button, type
      Programs and Features in the search box, and then select
      View installed updates.

    • Under Uninstall an update, scroll down to the
      Microsoft Windows section.

    • Right-click Internet Explorer 11, click Uninstall and then click
      Yes.

    • Click one of the following:
    • Restart now (to finish the process of uninstalling Internet Explorer 11 and restore the previous version of Internet Explorer)

    • Restart later

    To download and reinstall Internet Explorer, follow the steps below:


    • Check the System Type that you need to install by pressing
      Windows key + Pause key.
    • Check the System type under System (Ex: 64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor).

    • Download Internet Explorer 11 (Offline Installer) on this
      link.

    • Choose your preferred language and Service Pack (Ex: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit).

    • Follow the on-screen prompt.

    • Once done, check if the issues persists.

    Note: The installer that you can download on this link also applies in Windows 10.

    We'll wait for your update with the result.

    Explorer.exe (supposedly) restarts every so often

    Windows 10 internet Explorer Crashes / Freezes after most recent update

    Hi,

    To assist you, kindly provide us additional information.

    • What update did you install?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    We suggest you to disable Internet Explorer from optional features and enable it again. To do so, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R on your keyboard, type optionalfeatures
      and hit OK.
    • Uncheck the checkbox with Internet Explorer 11 written against the box and restart your computer.
    • After restart, check the box in optionalfeatures and restart again. Then, launch IE.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thanks.
