Hello.

I'm having a strange behaviour in Windows 7, even after a clean OS install; Sometimes, and I don't know why, the list of contents inside of some programs automatically refresh. For example, if I have open 7zip and a compressed file, the list of archives inside that compressed file will keep refreshen every 1 second or so, like when you push F5 on a web browser; what I explained affects other programs during this behaviour.


First, I thought if the keyboard was failing, but it was not. By other hand, I think that is something software related, because when I restart the OS, it disappears, also, it happens very rarely.

Someone knows something about this?

Regards.

Unfortunately, this has happened to many other people, who all say that the Microsoft team cannot fix it. For now, try to revert to an older version of Windows or try Linux. You may also want to try updating drivers or messing with your BIOS/UEFI. If you are an advanced Windows user, go into Registry Editor and mess around with files in there at your own risk. Other than that, I do not know what else to do, good luck.

I see. This is a fresh OS install, and I've updated the video drivers, but it's the same. By other hand, this has been happening to me since 6 months ago, after installing a update, but I don't know which; maybe this is not the cause, but it is something that is difficult (on my case) to track because if you begin to track what is causing it and you uninstall / config it, the result will not be evident in hours, days or even months...

Thanks for the response.
