I would like to upgrade to something with higher hertz in the future, sadly I don't have a bottomless wallet so I'll keep what I have currently for the eventual GPU upgrade and think about a newer monitor/TV after that.

Thanks for the answers everyone. It's what I was leaning towards so I'll just wait until new GPUs are released to upgrade. I have to play on a combination of medium to high settings for most new games but I still get a consistent 60fps so I'm not in a rush to upgrade.

I currently have a GTX 1060 with 3GB of VRAM, which can still run most new games consistently with some setting tweaking, but I was looking to upgrade my GPU for new games that will be coming out after the new generation of consoles come out. My question is, should I get a new GPU now...

First off, sorry for the late reply. I have been pretty busy over the holiday season and haven't got around to replying until now. I have two options in the display settings, "Graphics Settings" and "Advanced Graphics settings". The "Enable fullscreen optimisations" box isn't present in either...

For a while now I have kept fullscreen optimisations enabled and removed it for specific applications on a case by case basis by going into the properties of the executable file and disabling it through that. Recently I decided to turn it off completely after having the trouble of the method I...

Yeah I have ran SFC through an admin Command Prompt. I'll try another virus scan as you both have suggested but I have done it before, although it might have just been a quick scan if I recall correctly. Either way I'll probably just go through with the clean install but I won't be doing that...

Yeah that's what I'm planning to do as I have tried pretty much everything. I'm gonna wait until next week though as I'll need to back up everything I want to keep and then I'll have to go through the process of configuring everything again after the clean install so it's not something I can be...

Yeah, as I mentioned in my update, I used SFC and DISM then I done a repair install. None of that worked sadly.

No, I haven't tried that. I'll give that a shot and unplug everything other than my keyboard and mouse then restart.

I did try this before but the problem is, in my case anyway, that the majority of the startup items don't launch until explorer has started. So all it does is launch an explorer window after I manually run explorer.exe instead of launching it when the PC starts.

Thanks for the suggestion but like I said in my post I'm able to launch explorer by going into Task Manager (Using the shortcut shift+ctrl+esc) and then using the "Run new task" option to run explorer.exe, then my PC just goes back to normal.

UPDATE I have tried everything so far with no luck so sadly I'm going to have to do a clean install. Luckily I know someone that has an external HDD that I can borrow so I won't have any problems with space when trying to back up all the important stuff I want to keep, nonetheless, it's still a...

Don't worry about it, it's an easy thing to mix up.

I made sure to use the registry backup to restore all the things it removed! Thanks for the information.

Why so? I used the registry cleaner option but it made a backup, so should I restore the backup?
