  1. System Restore is the easiest thing to try first. It can undo recent changes to your computer's system files that might have caused the problem.
  2. If System Restore is not enabled, and you do not have prior Windows Restore points, then you cannot roll back Windows to an earlier version.
  3. Assuming you have created Windows Restore Points, Open System Restore. Open System Restore and then, in the list of results, click System Restore. You will need administrator privileges. Follow the instructions on your screen.
  4. Restart Windows, and see if problem has been fixed. If not, go to Step 2.
Step 2 : Reinstall a Device Driver for Hardware Recently Installed
  1. A recently installed hardware device, such as a webcam or a sound card or video card, maybe improperly installed and causing the problem. Make sure you have the latest driver for the device installed.
  2. To update the device driver, Open Device Manager from the Control Panel. Click System and Security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager.
  3. In the list of hardware categories, find the device that you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
  4. Click the Driver tab, click Update Driver, and then follow the instructions.
  5. Restart Windows, and see if problem has been fixed. If not, go to Step 3.
Step 3 : Check for any Virus Infection
  1. Download a third-party free tool from a reputable company such as Microsoft, Norton, McAfee and others.
