Hello,

I have a problem with my laptop regarding the Aero theme. Last night, I left my laptop on throughout the night and when I woke up, realising that it may have installed some updates because it's on the user log-in screen. Soon as I logged in, I realised the whole UI is Windows Classic. I tried to go to the Personalisation to change the theme and also realising the ''Aero'' theme option has now gone. What's left now is Classic, Vista Basic, Vista Standard and a couple of High Contrast theme which I believe is for Classic. When I click on the Vista Basic selection, the box where it should preview the theme has gone blank.

I've also checked the DWM (I think) and the Theme Service to be running ''Automatic'' and ''Started''.

Also when I get to the GTP Chat, it loads fine but then the UI sems to be flashing and sometimes just turned blank. I don't have any problem going through F1's Live Timing and watching YouTube videos.

I hope I've given some useful informations. I really need help on this matter.

Thanks!

EDIT: I've also uninstalled the Latest updates, and nothing is happening.
 
Update video drivers.

Windows may have updated them, if that does not work open a command prompt by going to start and typeing in "CMD" in to the search bar and run CMD as admin.

Then type in "SFC /Scannow".
This will check all windows system files for damage or that are missing.

Try a system restore which is found in system tools under accessories. restore before the update.
 
Thanks for the tips mate ;)

Actually, I have re-formatted my laptop and it now runs like a new system. Thanks anyway 👍
 
Forgive me for being a bit dumb, but when you do the "cmd" thing on the search bar, it doesn't come up with the command line as an admin, just as the user (as far as I can understand it)?
