Win10 on a NUC - Blocked Graphics Hardware?

No idea what's going on here!! Windows 10 Pro on a little Lenovo NUC / biz PC, used for family computing, a little gaming etc.

I've used MSCONFIG, task man, to disable startup services.

-hitting windows key takes 5-10 seconds to show the Win menu.

-any browser lags, then I get a windows message "Firefox (or chrome etc) has been blocked from accessing your graphics hardware"

-moving mouse around can be smooth, until I try to start any s/w.

oh!? It made a report, so I thought it worked ok.

What else can I do or try? What kind of software would give you a system analysis to see what's causing the havoc?

thanks

Thanks, I'll try that! My daughter need it for school, so I'm trying to get it running in short order. bad timing for this!

I had windows do a reset - keeping user settings / files.
STILL getting errors.

Last one:
Application ShellExperienc has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware.

NOTE: that's not a typo, the spelling is what the error was.

Was there an intel graphics update that's been causing problems? just about ready to smash this thing!
