  • After installing Windows 10 1511 update all my desktop icons flash about once a second. Deleting all the iconcache_*.db files did not fix it.

  • KB3105213 and windows 10 version 1511 fails to install
  • Win10 is not detecting the display properly, and is showing the “Monitors” in Device Manager as the “Generic PnP Monitor, and not as a 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) display. I’ve tried to Uninstall the device in hopes that Win10 will detect the proper display, with no joy. Since the Monitor (remember: “Monitor”, not “Display Adapter”, which Win10 correctly identified as an ATi Radeon HD 3200) is using the in-built Win10 Drivers, it re-installs as the Generic and not the actual display, and of course “Update Drivers” would be and has been proven to be a non-solution, because all that Windows Update will search for is the Generic display.
