Visual Studio 2010 Graphical Issues

Squiffy_Ca asked:

Open original thread
I can't peg when exactly it began, but recently my Visual Studio 2010 IDE itself is starting to mess up.

Functionally it still performs perfectly, but the UI messes up during certain alt-tabbings, causing it to blur up like mad and become illegible until I either mouse-over elements (forcing a graphic update) or Restoring and Maximizing the window.

I'd really like to figure out what's causing it and how to remedy it.

Below are images illustrating the issue. Note that I have used white to erase names of certain files denoting the project's name, so that's not part of the bug.

Image 1: Immediately after alt-tabbing, the UI goes bonkers.

Image 2: By mousing over elements, some semblance of normalcy returns.

Image 3: Normal UI (Aero + custom dark-theme for ease on eyes)

Any help would be greatly appreciate, I'm not even sure where to start. This is the only software I have any trouble with. Games are fine, videos and other Windows Forms software don't have this issue.

Googling the issue is hard, as most stuff comes up with somebody's custom app having graphics issues!

Update:
Tried resetting all IDE settings to default, no luck.
Will attempt a reinstall after I'm finished my current project at the earliest ;)
