My windows 8 laptop has stopped working for internet explorer it says 'internet explorer is not responding' and does not find a solution. I have a toshiba laptop.

I downloaded Windows 10 on my laptop when it prompted me to do so...   and I waited and waited and there it was.  I restarted my laptop and eventually logged in.  There was a moment when everything seemed great and then I got my background picture which is Stonehenge and it began flashing on and off.  No screen icons are seen... I can't do Jack S.  I then opened task manager and switched it off...  So thank you Microsoft for wrecking my computer that I used for my work....

Hi,

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue.
