Games not responding after Windows 10 Fresh Install (Can't Maximize back)

So I've been experiencing this problem after installing Windows 10 OS on my PC. Al thought my games are running smoothly and perfect, each of my games apparently have this  problem where they are tagged with a "Non responding" tag and can't be maximized back after it's been minimized. I have tried running both application in Administrator and compatibility mode and had no success. It resulted in the same issue. I did make sure all my drivers were up-do-date,had all my windows 10 upgrade to their last release and did a command prompt /sfc scannow in Clean boot . Let me know if this can be fixed as soon as possible.

    The Radeon drivers work ok with my old HD 6970 so I am wondering if your Windows setup is mangled

    Press Win+pause/break and make sure Windows is activated

    What game are you playing?

    So I have checked if I could run the game in to full Screen mode 1920x1080 and it worked flawlessly without any problems but the game still have the same issues where It mentions "Not Responding" and can't be maximized back . my Direct X was updated to the latest when I ran the Direct X setup.
