I’ve recently done a full reset on my computer. After reinstalling my stuff, i right click on an empty space on my desktop (forgot why i did) and it just freezes. I have to restart my computer in order to get my desktop to work again. Clicking on an app seems to work though. When i click the blue little circle loading cursor pops up and i can’t interact with my desktop apps anymore. I will try waiting to see if that would fix it, but i doubt that. Help!

    Try updating your integrated GPU drivers.

    Already tried this. They’re already up to date. I used the control panel, using the internet option.

    It could be a problem with the latest driver too. Try going one verion back and see if that works.
    Reset as in did you reinstall windows or just reset it without installing fresh.

    I’ll try that. By reset I meant a full factory reset, the option that clears everything.

    Factory reset is as good as clean install since it would get everything back to how the laptop was shipped. Disable windows auto updating of drivers.
