Constantly refreshing windows 10 taskbar and desktop might be an indicator of several issues. After Windows users had started upgrading to Windows 10, this phenomenon became a prevalent issue. Alternatively, this problem might also be related to the explorer.exe refresh problem. Windows’ Safe Mode is an essential tool.

• Windows 10 Desktop Icons Refreshing

Sounds like explorer is crashing/restarting (Just a guess). Could be conflict with an application that's not made for Win10 but works fine on Win7. See if we can narrow it down, press the Windows flag key + R and in the open run field type: perfmon /report (press enter).Any information from the report that shows in red is an error/conflict. First thing I would look at is 'Warnings' under Diagnostics Results.Also type msinfo32 in the search box (press enter) and when the System Information screen comes up, check under 'Software Environment' → 'Windows Error Report' for any additional information.What's the exact model of the Dell and or the service tag?Forgot to add: Could be a corrupt user profile. Quickest way to check is to create a new user account and login to that. Test to see if the problem occurs with the new user.

Nevermind Slacker i fixed the problem:-)it was IDTNC64.cplThis sounds like a manufacturer sound audio issue for some of us. I found this solution and it worked for me. I found some error in the Events Manager and this one was relevant 'IDTNC64.cpl.' 'The root cause of the problem is that the audio software supplied by IDT and used by several PC manufacturers (Dell, HP and probably others) is not compatible with Windows 10.

IDTNC64.CPL is one component of that software and the correct solution is to uninstall the IDT audio altogether. Provided you have just restarted your PC, you should be able to use a Windows Run Box (Win Key + R) before the crashes get too serious.

Type 'control panel' into the run box prompt and when the Control Panel appears, use Uninstall to seek out the offending IDT program - on my PC it had an icon of a musical note with the letters IDT next to it - and Uninstall.

On rebooting the PC (use Ctrl-Alt-Del to power down if necessary) and restarting, Windows will automatically detect any missing audio drivers and install appropriate ones (not from IDT).

You can then check that IDTNC64.CPL is no longer present in C:windowssystem32. If you have not yet migrated from an earlier version of Windows, it is best to Uninstall the IDT software in the old operating system (again, Windows will automatically reinstall compatible drivers) before attempting the upgrade to Windows 10.' After days of troubleshooting, I finally have no desktop or file explorer loop crashes!But thanks alot for replying and for your help!:-)Take Care!timalan.

Windows 10 Desktop Icons Refreshing

Hello!My laptop was recently upgraded to Windows 10 Creators Update V1703 (15063.296). Ever since the first reboot, the desktop and taskbar refresh continuously and I can't get anything done. I can bring up Task Manager with Ctrl-Alt-Del, and start a program with Create New Task, but I have not been able to stop the refresh. I have seen a few posts with a similar problem, but they're from a couple of years ago and haven't helped.What triggers Windows Explorer to refresh the desktop? Is there something in the registry I can look for?The hardware is an HP Elitebook 8560w ( Intel Core i7-2630QM) with two SSD 240GB drives and 24GB memory. The previous version of Windows 10 worked fine with no complaints.I would appreciate any tips or suggestions.Regards,-stephenMyrtle Beach SC.
