Asked by TechWhiz42
I'm experiencing some issues with my computer immediately after I used Prefetch through the Windows+R command. My screen is flickering, and the mouse cursor is constantly showing as if it's loading something. Does anyone know how to fix this or what steps I should take to resolve the problem?

Wait, when you say you used Prefetch, what exactly do you mean? You typically wouldnโ€™t handle anything with Prefetch through the Run dialog. Can you clarify what you ran? That might help in troubleshooting.

It sounds like your graphics card driver might need an update or a reset. This is a common issue that can happen after certain commands. Have you tried updating the driver yet? If not, thatโ€™s a good place to start!
