    If the process in the MS Community thread doesn't work, a couple of other things to look at, Modern UI Apps require UAC, if you've turned that off, re-enable and you can adjust it to a lower setting for you convenience. The other is updating your video driver (or the inverse, if you've recently updated the driver, roll back).
