I had some very serious problems with win10.

You're not alone, so I gather.

I had keyboard problems,
when I pressed ctrl or alt it would lock and I had to desperetaly press
them again. I threw away my keyboard for nothing. My USB ports didn't
work properly as if there wasn't enough power.I couldn't use windows
option to compress photos and then email them.I discovered that gigabyte
hasn't issued any win 10 drivers for my mobo.I formatted and returned to
win 7 and all is fine, knock on wood!! Of course I blamed everything to
AMD as I have the FX 4130 CPU, I must say that I'm running
Wolvenstein:the new order which explicitly asks for at least an i7 and
that's the cheapest FX that e-shop had!!!I wanted to buy at least an
6300 but couldn't afford it. But I got a very good mobo, 990 XA-UD3
(Gigabyte) but as it's AM3+ socket they have abandoned it in expectation
of Zen.I must say that I bought the AMD CPU with my fingers crossed, and
I bought a Nvidia graph card (the gigabyte GTX 650) because as everyone
subjected to the intel propaganda thought that AMD CPUs are crap, they
overheat etc.Of course some deficiencies are expected as it cost less
than even an i3, but all I had to do was to change the thermo paste, and
all is fine, even in the cretan summer and running demanding
games!Thanks Mr.Gates for freebie win 10 but I like doing things my way
and manually...

There are alternatives, also for people who 'like doing things their
way and manually'... But perhaps M$ Windoze junkies need rehab
treatment ;-)

I've had serious problems with Linux. I tried Windows and it worked
amazingly well. Lindoze junkies need rehab and so on.

Yrrah, this isn't a Linux advocacy group so SHADDUP you're boring.

cursor behind! It then continues to resize, based on its now remote
mouse cursor. As soon as the mouse is released, the resized window
jumps back to its original place.

I've isolated it as apparently due to the setting 'Center window when
loading new image'. Uncheck that and the issue stops. But, of course,
so does the centering of new images.

A bug?

I don't observe this behavior with Irfanview 4.42 32-bit on x64
Windows 10. Could this be a graphics card or driver problem?

Graphics Chipset is AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
Radeon Software Version 16.7.3

Thanks. Something 'graphical' sounds plausible, although I'm using the
i7 6700K, 4.0 GHz in-built graphics, no an external card.

It's interesting to se nospam taking such an interest in Windows. Something must have

See my OP: "OT: Expert, or Faker".
There might be some sort of answer there.

Very few people buy AMD processors? In the latest qtr of 2016, 20% of
computers sold had AMD processors, down from 30% in 2013. Your estimate
of 95% is way off.

That should read "Your estimate of 95% *of computers having Intel CPUs*
is way off".

goody then, I'm happy to hear that:-) BTW, I got from www.reichelt.de a
"Mobiles EPA Kit" which has an antistatic "blanket" on which you work
and an antistatic bracelet which "earths" you so you won't damage any
components when working on a PC or laptop or whatever.40 euros+postage
from Germany.They have a very nice printed catalog, only in german.

Thanks. Something 'graphical' sounds plausible, although I'm using the

Just to let you know about video drivers affecting behavior, I was
wondering why opening a command shell (with admin privileges so the UAC
prompt has to appear) would result in a totally black screen, a 1 to 2
second pause, and then the desktop would reappear with the command
shell's window. I also had other video artifacts. The computer was
more noisy. I tried readjusting fan speeds but could only control CPU
and case fans, not the video fan. It was the GPU fan that was making
lots more noise yet I had just recently cleaned its blades and blown out
its heatsink dust along with cleaning up the rest of the insides (so it
should be running cooler than before).

Then I realized that all the symptoms stemmed from when I upgraded from
v15 to v16 of the video driver. I decided to uninstall all V16 software
(driver & ancilliary software) and go back to v15. No more black screen
when the UAC prompt was to appear. The GPU fan was spinning more slowly
(i.e., the card was now better controlling fan speed based on
temperature).

The latest driver isn't always the best driver. I've had to test
several versions to find which worked best with the video games that I
had at the time, and the latest driver wasn't always the best choice.
Now I wish AMD provided an option to *not* check for updates since I
won't be moving to any new version until something actually breaks with
my current setup.

You are using onboard video. Well, that still requires a driver. If it
got updated then new unwanted behaviors may appear.
