My graphics become choppy every time I restart my computer. Every time I When I restart my computer I have to reinstall the drivers for my graphics card to make everything run smooth again. I've checked the device manager and the display drivers are up to date. I've also checked through AMD Radeon settings, to confirm the driver is still installed. This problem makes games unplayable(5-15 FPS), and even web browsing very unpleasant. To make this a little more unique, I've noticed that when i move my cursor over about a 2 x 2 area of my DESKTOP, the cursor slows waaay down and gets really choppy until I've cleared that area of the desktop and then moves normally again. This particular bug only happens on the desktop, not on a webpage or any other program.

To be clear, the only way to temporarily fix this is to uninstall my display driver, and then reinstall it. After I restart my computer all of these symptoms return until I reinstall the drivers again.

Things I've tried:
Anything and everything from this and other websites with a similar problem
DDU
installing older display drivers
I've checked which PCI slot it is plugged into

A little extra info:
This is a new Crucial 500GB SSD with a fresh install of windows.

Specs:
Windows 10 Home 64 bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97MX Gaming 5
CPU: Intel i5 4690K
GPU: Radeon RX 460 Graphics

Any help would be appreciated.

I've reinstalled windows already. No improvement on my problem. I tried deleting my user account as well, at first I thought it was fixed, but then the problem resumed.

I've reinstalled windows yet again. It seems the default driver fro mym graphics card works perfectly fine, but once i restart my computer Windows decides it wants to update my video driver for me and the problem returns. I've even told windows not to auto update for me and it still does it.

Upon further investigation, while origin is running the csrss.exe process uses a ton of GPU resources (up to 99%). Even after closing origin csrss will occasionally spike gpu usage.

Just an update:
My temporary fix had been to just keep my computer on and it has been running smoothly for a couple of days. I decided to shut it down last night to see if the problem continued. Upon booting up, which took about 2 minutes, the problem returned. All graphical interactions are choppy, scrolling in web pages is slow. Games run at horrible frame rates.

TL;DR - Disable your onboard graphics in your BIOS


I know this is an old thread but I found the fix for this.

The problem is your integrated graphics are being set as the default once you restart.

My PC was doing the same thing, installed a 1050TI that I purchased off craigslist. I thought the card was bad, I installed it, would get no video until I restarted like 5 times. When it finally would show video output it would lag badly. I would reinstall the drivers and everything would be fine until I restarted.

After playing around and finding nothing on google I discovered my pc was setting the Intel Integrated video cards as the default. I disabled it in BIOS and now everything is working fine.
