Hi peter5223,

 

 

I was reviewing your case and I noted you installed the graphics version 15.40.20.4404; however, this version is intended for newer graphics versions included on 5th and 6th gen processors.

 

 

The latest version for HD 4600 is 15.40.18.4380 for Windows® 10 available in the link below:
