Some Programs Open to White Screen

This issue is starting to drive me insane. I have two programs by two different developers that won’t open. For some reason when these programs are opened the application window is white. The title bar is there, but I cannot interact with the program. I’ve searched high and low on the internet and have tried numerous troubleshooting steps. Help!

    I wish I had good news, but I’m still running into the same issue. I tried all of your suggestions. The issue is still impacting two totally different programs (that I’ve noticed thus far).

    Try these first to see if they work:

    Open Start, type: CMD

    Right click CMD

    Click Run as administrator

    Type in at the prompt OR Copy and Paste these one at a time : (Hit enter after each)

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Also run the System File Checker utility:

    Open Start, type: CMD

    Right click CMD

    Click Run as administrator

    At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any integrity violations

    Restart your system

    uninstall your display driver:

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Expand Display adapters

    Right click the current display adapter

    Click Uninstall

    Exit Device Manager

    Restart

    There seems to be some early adopter issues at this time with Windows 10 1803, if you can, I recommend you downgrade to your previous version until the Spring Creators Update matures with future cumulative updates.

    Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Recovery > under Go back to my previous version of Windows 10, click Get started.

    or

    Press Control + Alt + Delete

    Click Sign out

    At the Sign In screen, hold down the shift key on your keyboard while clicking the Power button on the screen

    Continue to hold down the shift key while clicking Restart

    Continue to hold down the shift key until the Advanced Recovery Options menu appears

    Click Troubleshoot

    Click Advanced options

    Click Go back to the previous version of Windows

    Windows Update might attempt to upgrade to Windows 10 1803 again. See instructions how to block it:

    Can you try performing a repair upgrade?

    Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I cannot roll back to a previous version. And I’d rather not reset my machine and have to reinstall my apps and programs. Is there any indication as to what in the update is causing this problem?
