Hello community,
I've been trying to diagnose a computer for a while now and here are a list of what I know about the problem:
___________________________________________________
-Taskbar square pops up flashing orange in the farthest right spot (where any new application you open should/would appear)
-It is the only app that doesn't have an icon
-It disappears after half a second making it hard to right click
-when it appears it is rather random with no real rhythm
-It forces any game I am playing to lower
-Note worthy: mouse has been showing a loading circle every 1-3 seconds regardless of the processes I shut down
___________________________________________________
At first, I thought this was simply an application error with windows conflicting with it. Causing it to not open, but repeat the process over and over.
This is a desktop with no bio-metrics.
Here are a list of things I have already done to attempt to solve the situation:
___________________________________________________
- Clean reboot
-Temporarily disabled windows firewall before the next step
-Ran your standard scans, disk defrags, registry repairs, driver updates for windows/GPU etc.
-Removing startup applications entirely with the exception of the antivirus and realtek audio
-Stopped onedrive syncing process (in fact I don't use it and removed it entirely from the comp)
-Repaired MS Office
-Changed Steam and other programs I had been running to run comparability mode
-Went through task manager and removed Spooler subsystem app and anything else that seemed unusual
-Removed Nvidia streamer service
-Verified mouse sonar wasn't enabled
-Verified I don't have asus smart gesture
-Msconfig normal startup > applied
-Temporarily changed my mouse pointer to not show background loading circle just be the regular mouse pointer icon
-Ran Command Prompt as Admin > dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth > FOUND an error proceeded with >
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
-Rebooted and still had difficulties
-ReRan Command Prompt as Admin > dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth > NO ERRORS
-Verified the integrity of my game files on steam
___________________________________________________
From here I was just unsure of what direction to go in. Task manger didn't show any unusual programs running, I tried to clear up common problems, and deep clean the basics/update.
Any and all suggestions are welcome and much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
