    Welcome
    First run a full antivirus scan
    Then download and give a full scan with malwarebytes.

    If negative

    Go to device manager, check graphics driver. Make sure it is up to date and no yellow warning markers are shown.

    Yes, please do a virus scan. If the virus scan does not fix it, might as well, try system restore, if this won't do either, reinstall Windows.
