Note: I posted this before but I forgot the check the box to indicate that it's a question/problem. I edited the botched thread to indicate this.
Last December I bought an ASUS Transformer Book T100HA 2-in-1 specifically to play GOG games while travelling. It has a Cherry Trail Intel Atom SoC. It worked perfectly for my purpose until recently, when it automatically upgraded to the "Creators Update" (Windows 10 version 1703).
I re-imaged the machine to clear the gunk from the upgrade and then I reinstalled Might and Magic 6. When I launched the game, it did run, but the entire right edge of the screen was just gray. About 20% of the screen was covered in gray. Since the opening menu is on the right side and was obscured, I had to Alt-F4 to get out of the game.
I re-imaged the machine again and tried again, to no avail. I was beginning to think my GPU was failing so I installed MSI Kombustor and set it for 800x600 resolution, full screen. I tried several different tests using the same settings and I saw no corruption, so I'm pretty sure I can rule out a hardware problem.
I've also tried every combination of graphics settings in the Intel control panel and compatibility modes I could think of, with no luck. I also tried to upgrade my GPU driver but there is no new driver available.
I had the exact same problem with Might and Magic 8 and Baldur's Gate, but all the games I tried seem to run perfectly on my gaming desktop with GTX 970.
I don't know what to try next so any help would be most appreciated.
