Windows 8 Desktop Display Changes!!

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can cause display issues. Update your graphics drivers to the latest version. You can download the drivers from the HP website or use Windows Update.
   []Check for Windows Updates:
   • Sometimes, another update might fix the issue caused by a previous update. Check for any pending Windows updates and install them.
   []Check Display Settings:
   • Ensure that your display settings are configured correctly. Right-click on the desktop, select "Display settings," and check the resolution and scaling settings.
   []Disable Automatic Driver Updates:
   • Sometimes, Windows Update installs generic drivers that might not work correctly. You can disable automatic driver updates and manually install the drivers.
   []Check for System File Corruption:
   • Use the System File Checker tool to scan for and repair corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command sfc /scannow.
   []Run Windows Troubleshooters:
   • Windows has built-in troubleshooters that can help identify and fix common system issues. You can run the display troubleshooter and the Windows Update troubleshooter.
   []Check for Malware:
   • Perform a full system scan using your installed antivirus software to rule out any malware or virus causing the issue.

     Additional Tips:​

     • If the issue persists, consider performing a system restore to a point before the Windows update to see if that resolves the problem.
     • You can also try booting into Safe Mode to check if the issue occurs in a minimal environment.
