    I installed the most recent Win 10 upgrade yesterday evening. Now I'm having serious problems. My main monitor cannot connect to my pc. It is stuck in a loop where it tries to over and over. My secondary monitor works however my screen flickers black every fee seconds and the blue light "nightlight" filter constantly toggles on and off every second or two. The PC is extremely slow. Everytime it flickers it's like everything on the screen resets and there's a noticable lag.

    I am running a system restore now.  About 2 weeks ago I had to do a system restore which completed in a matter of moments. This system restore has been stuck at "System Restore is restoring the registry..." for 40+ minutes. I understand that sometimes a restore can takr a while but as I said I just did one a few weeks ago and it only took a couple moments.

    Edit: the moment I finished typing this system restore progressed to "removing temporary files"

    Edit 2: upon system restore finishing I get a bluescreen with the error 0xc000021a

    Edit 3: my pc wont boot into safe mode either 

    Edit 4: I system restored my pc to after the windows 10 update. So Im back to square 1 where my pc is flickering constantly. I tried redownloading my graphicd card drivers and it didnt fix it.

    *RESOLVED* Edit 5: I uninstalled Eset and then reinstalled it and now my desktop works fine. Im not sure why that fixed it. I only uninstalled Eset because it was preventing my computer from doing a system restore for some reason and I was getting an error message. So as of now my windows is up to date and my display is working fine. Hopefully if anyone else has this problem this helps them
