I have an issue that my HP 650 laptop is doing refreshing of taskbar and desktop in every 2 minutes.

When refreshing the icons from the taskbar are disappearing for 1-2 second and then again shown.

What can be the reason of this problem and how can I solve it?

Thanks.

I'd suggest updating the display driver for your laptop but it could be malware as well. I can suggest malware removal tools but try the display driver(s) first.

This is often caused by (surprisingly) Norton AntiVirus installed on the machine by the factory image!

If you:

  1. Start your Windows 8 computer but DON'T click to go to "Desktop" view
  2. Immediately start typing "Programs and features"
  3. Open "Programs and features" - so you can see your list of installed programs
  4. Uninstall anything "Norton" related
  5. Complete the uninstall by rebooting your computer
  6. Live a hassle-free life with Windows 8.
