Windows Repair: Still stuck while registering files
madhouserevival:
Well, ran a repair install (TWICE) and the issue still exists. Doesn't have any issues in Windows 7 though. Something funky in Windows 10. Side note: I upgraded to Window 10 from a previous solid working Windows 7 installation just so I could use G-sync and Freesync in games. MS went out of its way to block Windows 7 from having full compatibility with newer drivers (Source: Nvidia staff!)
Windows 10 has produced the weirdest behavior I have ever seen. My keyboard keeps disconnecting (been happening ever since I upgraded to Windows this year). Frequently clicking a windows link or folder doesn't open things but opens a menu of some sort. If I click on a tab in any browser, instead of switching to that tab it duplicates the tab. Thought it was my K/M drivers so uninstalled and reinstalled them but, nope, it's Windows ten being funky with peripherals. Read somewhere a while back that mouse and onscreen keyboard in accessibility settings can cause this, but I've disabled all of that junk.
I so don't want to start over from scratch. It would take several days to get back the software and games I have installed with their original settings.

Does Event Viewer have anything recorded for those events ?
madhouserevival:
You know, it would be great to be able to do that but I am terrible at sorting stuff in the event viewer. So if the mouse clicking misbehaves (opening menus, moving whole folders, running software randomly when I try and simply click something), where exactly should I look in the event viewer? Thanks.
Boggin:
When you open Event Viewer ensure Event Viewer (Local) is highlighted in the left pane - if it isn't then just click on it.
When it has read the data click on Error then on View All Instances of This Event in the lower right pane as in my pic.
These are date and time stamped, so look for obvious ones or those that coincide with the keyboard/mouse problem.
Sometimes Win 10 installs drivers that may not be compatible with your devices.
It did it to my Realtek wireless driver when I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 in 2016.
It installed a driver dated 31 March 2016.
I forget why I checked it out on a program called inSSIDer3 but it was producing a graph like a broken saw blade.
Device Manager is where I found that dated driver so I clicked on Update driver - Browse my computer - Let me pick and reinstalled a Win 7 one which produces a smoother graph.
When I installed the Win 10 2004 update I didn't have a wireless connection so checking Device Manager I found that the update had reinstalled the 2016 driver again, so I had to reinstall my Win 7 one again.
I don't know if you are using a laptop or desktop PC and if so, whether you are using a plugged in or wireless keyboard and/or mouse.
Go to your computer support site to see if you can reinstall any Win 7 drivers to see if that stabilises things.
Boggin:
Win 10 has its own trouble shooting section which is accessed by clicking on the Windows icon then on the Settings cog.
Click on Update & Security where you'll see Troubleshoot in the left pane.
You may need to click on Additional Troubleshooters to see the full list which includes one for Keyboard settings.
