Explorer Window folder thumbnails disappearing

Thanks for that info! I've uninstalled k-lite. I also discovered one file in the downloads folder that would not allow me to delete it. I ran "file assassin" in MalwareBytes to get rid of it.

But now I have a new problem when starting in "normal" mode. I am getting what I would call a BSOD or similar behavior. When I start the pc, my toolbar does not "pop up" and I am unable to click on any desktop items. When I try to click, I get a blue "swirling circle" (windows is "doing something" etc.).
I had a similar issue several months ago, which appeared to be a "network adapter" driver issue.

I am currently in safe mode with networking. Everything works.

Hey I'm getting the same problem with my laptop. Can you tell me how you resolved it?

Hi. I had issues for several days after removing k-lite and then one day upon restarting the computer "normally" everything worked fine and have had no issues since. Eventually it basically fixed itself. Sorry I don't have a better answer!

I don't use K-Lite. I formatted my system to factory settings and i believe its got something to do with either Daemon Tools or Windows update. Some have even suggested turning off the windows search services, doesn't feel right though. Thanks anyway :)

I had tried that before but it didn't work. As I suspected it had something to do with windows updates. I restored the system to an initial stage and didn't download optional updates so its working fine...for now! Thank you so much though :)

Sorry that I wasn't much help.

Now that your PC is working you should create a backup HDD image immediately.

I prefer to use Macrium Reflect. :)

The problem's returned...and this time its become something of a monster! System freezes, applications close without any reason, loads of error popups, Alerts telling me to close applications otherwise there'll be memory loss, missing files....Cyber hell if you ask me! :/ I give up! Gonna hand this one over to the company! Can't be wasting too much time on this! Thank you very much anyway :)
