Hey tomsharware. I recently got an automatic update for windows 10, and while turning off the PC the standard screen asking me to not turn off came up while updates were installed. That's when the mains went off and I had to force shut down the system. Ever since then I've had this really annoying problem...
The next day I noticed something flickered for less than a second on screen. I paid no attention until I was playing Shadow of Mordor and a minute into the gameplay something flickers on the screen again and my game minimises. It happens every minute from then onwards. After tedious print screen timing, I managed to get a glimpse of the pop up windows that flickered - it was ipconfig.exe. It disappears before I can read what's written.
I tried various solutions, some which were as simple as a reboot to longer ones like creating a new admin account but the problem persist. Because of this I can't game, I can't work, I can't do anything because this ipconfig pop up takes priority and for eg if I'm typing and it pops up, I miss a letter or two. It's very annoying and makes it impossible for me to do anything. What do I do now? I'll list whatever I have tried -:
1. Rebooting. Not just shut down and start up but reboot as well.
2. Performing an sfc/scannow.
3. Updated all drivers, hardware or for apps like GeForce Entertainment.
4. Created a new user admin.
None of these worked. I even tried deleting the ipconfig exe file but I can't cos even as admin I don't have a certain permission (it was trusted something I can't recall). What do I do? I am completely helpless.
