I read them. But I'm doubtful of that all these issues are related to the anniversary update. Couldn't it because of the tweaks I did or something else?
Install your system make drivers for Windows 10 by starting with the chipset first and followed by others like the graphics driver, etc.
You're right. But the main reason I didn't install manufacture drivers is, there are no Windows 10 drivers for my hardware from manufacture websites. Since the generic drivers are newer and nothing went wrong until few days, I thought everything was OK. So are you still suggesting me to install Windows 7/8/8.1 drivers?
and you are probably right if everything has been going well. It could be another update from windows update causing issues. You can use win7/8 drivers with 10, 10 drivers are not always as functional. I would suggest a full backup of your system before delving much deeper into your issue. At least you will have a fallback point to return to. Then you can go ahead and just test everything under the sun safely lol
Still no fix. Updating drivers - After trying out more than 10 driver changes problems are still there.

Actually the recent updates aren't problematic for me. I thought they could be the solution. BTW, I'll try that msconfig method you're telling.
Try to make a new user and see if your problems are visible there as well, if your problems are systemwide just do an in place upgrade it's very rare it isn't able to fix a big problem like the one you have.
