About 60% of the time, when I reboot my computer, or leave it off all night and turn it back on the next day, it will default two specific Windows 10 settings back, and it's very annoying. First, it enabled Autohide for the taskbar. I hate the feature, and while some people may like it, I don't. Part of it's because the transition looks absolutely awful, even on my 240hz screen, but aside from that I just dislike it. Again, about 60% of the time, when I turn my pc on, autohide is enabled for the taskbar and I have to go and turn it off. It only takes me about two seconds, but it's still very annoying. Also, maybe 50% of the time, it enables an Ease of Access setting that makes it so that hovering over icons selects them and clicking once opens them. I prefer that setting off, one click to select, double click to open. It's even more annoying because I have to open up the Ease of Access center, which can't be done just by hitting the windows key and typing in, "Ease", because it opens up the W10 version instead of the control panel version of the ease of access center. It's overall very annoying. This only has began to happen recently. I have updated all my drivers. I built my computer myself, and it's a very high end pc. You can see the specs in my signature. An issue I've had for a while, but just dealt with because it's very easy to fix, is that about 80% of the time when I start my pc up, the monitor (the 240hz monitor from MSI) will display incorrectly. It cuts out a sliver of the screen, from top to bottom, straight in the center, slides the right side of the sliver over, and drops the sliver on the far right. It's not as weird as it sounds, I promise lol. Anyway, all I've ever had to do was click the power button twice on the monitor or change the resolution and change it back, and then my monitor is back to perfection. I'm just trying to figure out what might be causing these things to happen. I've double checked the drivers, they are all up to date. I recently took apart my pc completely, cleaned each part with an air blower or a dry or slightly damp rag, and put it back together (I did this AFTER the issue started happening, so it is NOT the cause!). My thermals did improve a little bit, but the issue did not go away.
