@millworkman Good to hear. @beng12 The things I checked off(all were on by default), with a little help remembering from: http://www.7tutorials.com/how-install-windows-10 *Customize settings* (First screen) Personalization Personalize your speech, typing, and inking input by sending contacts and calendar details, along with other associated input data to Microsoft. Send typing and inking data to Microsoft to improve the recognition and suggestion platform. Let apps use your advertising ID for experiences across apps. Location Let Windows and apps request your location, including location history, and send Microsoft and trusted partners some location data to improve location services. (Second screen) Browser and protection Use SmartScreen online services to help protect against malicious content and downloads in sites loaded by Windows browsers and Store apps. Use page prediction to improve reading, speed up browsing, and make your overall experience better in Windows browsers. Your browsing data will be sent to Microsoft. Connectivity and error reporting Automatically connect to suggested open hotspots. Not all netwoks are secure. Automatically connect to networks shared by your contacts. Send error and diagnostic information to Microsoft. BTW, I'm not suggesting anyone should or should not switch off any of the things I switched off. Strictly my personal choices.

Thanks everyone. mikie, that sounds a little complex. If necessary, I'll try it, though. An update... last night after posting here, I decided to try to get those Windows updates redone and out of 'stall' mode. So, what happened was the latest version of Windows 10 updated - it was a long one, took about an hour. After that, my computer is working like I think it should as far as speed with no lags. I haven't used it enough to see if that "HD Intel Graphics Display driver has stopped working and has recovered" popup happens again. So far it hasn't. While doing the Windows 10 update, I could see it was installing new drivers for quite some time, so I'm hoping that will resolve the issue. If not, it looks like I'll have to return it because it's really annoying to continually see this popup whenever I try to navigate the internet. I'll post back to report what happens. Thanks to you all for your help.

Work had us reboot every computer last Friday. That must've been it!

You could try this then, if your unwilling to reset windows 10, resetting windows 10 gives you the option to keep your files and it will reinstall windows, some applications will have to be re-downloaded / reinstalled. This is what I would do next: Try running the following from a Elevated Command Prompt, one at a time: Once the command prompt is open you can copy 1 line at a time and paste it into the black command prompt window, then hit enter on the keyboard. Do that for each line (1 , 2, & 3) Don't copy the 1 2 0r 3, just the command... 1 Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup 2 Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth 3 SFC /scannow How to open an elevated command prompt in windows 10 https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2790-open-elevated-command-prompt-windows-10-a.html Also If you right click the start menu, I think you will see cmd (admin) in the list
