View 2 RepliesSettings Notifications Icons Black Squares
Nov 16, 2015Since the November update I've found my icons in Settings / Notifications 'Show notifications from these apps' are black squares.
I've tried deleting and rebuilding the icon and thumbnail caches, rebooted and still have the same.
Before the update they were fine and I've not noticed any other icons show the same.
Any way to clear or refresh these icons ?
Boot To White Screen With Black Squares Flashing
Oct 13, 2015Recently I've started to encounter an error when booting my computer, occasionally it would boot to a weird flashing white and black screen. An example of this can be seen here: [URL]....
This occurs just before the login screen. While this happens, my cursor is still visible, though larger than normal. After a while, the flashing stops and the screen stays black, usually before this I would force restart my PC then it would boot fine.

Can't Find Any Way To Prevent Mouse Hovering From Opening A File
Oct 18, 2015One thing that drives me bonkers is having a mouse pointer open any file whose name I might inadvertently hover over for a few seconds. I want files to open ONLY when I double click them. In earlier versions of Windows it was easy to turn the open on hover feature off, which I always did. However there is no option to turn it off in Windows 10 that I can find anywhere in Settings.

View 4 RepliesDistorted Display When Playing Videos
Nov 12, 2015I'm not sure what the best way to describe this is but when I have videos open for playback the colors on the entire display get messed up, even if the program with the video is minimized. Green or purple tinting, heavy banding, etc. And the moment I close the video it all goes back to normal. This happens in any browser (such as on YouTube), using HPC-HC player, or in my Roxio editor. At first I thought I messed up my codecs so (after messing around for a while trying to fix it) I used the Win10 "Reset" to essentially reinstall, but obviously here I am.
I tried to take a screen shot to post here, but it came out normal. So I would think the video has to be being processed correctly, but something is being lost on the way to the display. The only oddity in my setup I can think of is that I am presently using a TV as my display instead of a monitor. But I'm not sure how that could create this effect.
Working OS Suddenly Won't Load (four Blue Squares Then Reboot)
Nov 6, 2015I've had some fun and games with Windows 10 so far (Solved Windows 10 upgrade - random freezes and PC becomes unresponsive - Windows 10 Forums). Now something else seems to have gone wrong.
I was fiddling around with the BIOS last night (trying to get the PC to see 8GB rather than my current 6GB of memory). Anyway, I couldn't, so I switched all the BIOS settings back to what they were (even did a CMOS reset). However, I now find that my PC won't boot into Windows 10. It crashes/reboots as soon as the four blue squares appear on screen (usually before the little dots even have time to rotate).
I can't boot into Safe Mode. Inserting a Windows 10 DVD also falls over. Even the Macrium Reflect boot disc I have won't work. However - mine is a dual boot machine - it will boot into Windows 7 without a hitch.
I've tried using the BoYans.net Dual-boot Repair tool, but no no avail. Ditto Tenorshare Windows Boot Genius - though it does at least boot, but none of the tools within it have made any difference (I've tried Boot File Recovery and MBR Recovery - I didn't run Boot Sector Recovery, as it mentions making "All boot sectors of this partition... compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7".)
Can it possibly be something weird in the BIOS - even though I've reset it on more than one occasion? Or is it, as I suspect, some weird boot problem (again!) - both the above tools can see the Windows 10 installation, so I know it's still there in theory.
Microphone Strongly Distorted Except From Realtek Playback?
Aug 5, 2015Basically when I try to record my voice all I hear is very strongly distorted sound, no speech is recognizable. I tried updating drivers, all mic settings I can think of but with no success.
When I open the Realtek manager and click the icon for playback on my mic settings the audio is crystal clear, and if possible I would like to have this instead of what is actually outputted. I dont know how to set that working
I clicked to "Listen to this device" and all I hear is VERY distorted sound, no speech is recognizable.
So from what I understand the mic is perfectly fine, the drivers should be fine but the quality that is outputted is terrible. Is there anyway to output what I hear from the playback on realtek? [URL] ....

Not Able To View Application Updates Information Into Store
Mar 29, 2016I just got an update of windows 10 on my Lumia 535. I found few issues. I hope i'll get some solutions here.
Problem: When i visited into Store -> Downloads and Updates, it shows me list of all the apps which needs to update. But the worst part is that there is no way to view/find out that what is the updates available for a specific application. I tried long press on the list, but no luck.
Any other way to get the updates information.

View 4 RepliesHP Envy M7 / Windows Sounds Distorted (all Other Sounds Fine)
Jan 9, 2016I have a new HP Envy M7 laptop running Windows 10. I have an odd problem where all the stock windows sounds are distorted as if they are being unnecessarily amplified. All other sounds, such as videos, music, movies, etc, are all completely fine. I've tried looking through the windows sounds area, looking at the device properties, and also at the 2 different volume control areas with no luck.
When i say 2 different olume control areas, i mean the volume control icon in the taskbar tray, and also the "Bang & Olufsen" sound control icon in the taskbar tray. Bang & Olufsen apparently provides the audio products for this machine? Anyway, i can see anyplace where the windows sounds are being amplified.
My devices are:
Realtek High Definition audio
nVidia Virtual Audio Device
Intel(R) Display Audio
i have all drivers up-to-date.
