Yo, I updated windows the other day and this morning my computer stopped opening most programs and some (Opera browser for instance) show up as a blank window even without the windows close X in the corner. The windows close and resize buttons work though. Most, if not all the native windows programs run, like control panel device manager and such.
When I uninstalled the nvidia driver the Opera browser showed up correctly, but couldn't reload or load new pages when I tred. I haven't tried installing an older nvidia driver yet, I installed a new one right after I put a 1070 in.
The 1070 I put in has been running in another computer just fine and it ran fine in this one until I did "Shut down and update". I also overclocked the 1070, but that's reverted when I boot the computer I think and I also manually turned it off.

 

I run windows 10 pro 64 bit and the only thing I changed recently was the GPU and the windows update. I also tried system restore (both normal and safe mode), but that failed telling me it couldn't copy some file, don't remember the name and I can't check just yet because I'm currently sitting at university.

 

I am going to try to uninstall the windows update and change to an older nvidia driver when I get home, anything else I should try?

 

Thanks for any replies in advance.
