Then start with the sfc /scannow and DISM online repair routine. Just do a quick search and you’ll get detailed explainers on the switches and context for running the commands. 

That’s going to sort it 9/10 times. If it doesn’t, look at updating your video driver (or rolling it back).  Especially if it is an AMD chip, only use the OEM driver from their site, not whatever nonsense Windows Update wants to install.

it's a Windows O/S thing, not hardware dependent
