Blank SysTray, No cursor in MSWord, Blank Dialogue Boxes etc
Hi, I have an Alienware m18x R2 laptop that has been successfully running Windows 10 Pro (upgraded automatically from Windows 7 Ultimate) for the last couple of years.
Intel Core i7 - 3820QM
16GB RAM
Dual nVidia GTX675M
SoundBlaster Recon 3Di
256GB SSD
1TB HDD
Recently, however, I have run into a number of graphical issues that are making it hard to use.
The first thing I noticed is that the when I open the SysTray, I get a blank box instead of my tray icons. I tried to take a screenshot of this, but when hit the PrintScreen Button it displays so I am unable to copy an image of the issue.
I have the same issue with dialogue boxes and some right click menus as well as Device Manager, again when I hit PrintScreen my display refreshed and I can see what should be there.
Another Issue I am having is that I see no flashing cursor, or entered text in MS Word again until I hit PrintScreen (note that I am not having this issue filling out this forum post on the same computer).
I believe all my drivers are up to date.
Has anyone here experienced anything similar? And can you suggest what might be the cause or how to fix this annoyance?
