A few days ago, one of my customers call me to report the following weird issue on Windows 10: the desktop is constantly refreshed every few seconds. The "Windows 10 refresh" issue occurs even without open programs, immediately after the user login.
Upgrading to Windows 10 from a previous Windows version can come with its fair share of issues. A common problem after upgrading to Windows 10 is whereby the desktop or toolbar, or both keep on refreshing. This hinders the usual flow of work on your PC as you can imagine. This is particularly annoying to gamers because every time the desktop and toolbar refresh, the game will minimize automatically. Worse yet, you may encounter the notorious blue screen error. Turning the internet off and on intermittently won’t help either. The cause for the refreshing items could be anything you can imagine; but I show a few possible workarounds in this tutorial to assist if your PC experiences the desktop and toolbar constantly refreshing.
