There are a number of issues that users have experienced when running Google Earth on Windows 10 computer. Among the issues are the freezing of the app, having blurry images, and spinning Google Earth. Here are tips on how to fix them.
Freezing Issues
If you experience freezing issues with Google Earth, you just need to run the troubleshooter and follow the instructions. You might as well be able to solve this problem when you clear the cache. Just open Google Earth and go to the dropdown menu. Then, click the Help tap and then click the Launch Repair Tool tab. It would help if you close the app first but just leave the Repair tool open when the repairing starts. Then, click the Clear disk cache afterwards.
If the problem still persists, then you need to install the older version of the app. Upon doing this, try to recreate the shortcut so that you would not click on the old link that was problematic.
Google Earth Spinning
When this issue happens, there is a problem with the calibration. This can be done when you are using a controller, but you have to follow the manual in calibrating the controller.
Otherwise, if you are not using a controller, you have to open Google Earth, then click Tools -> Options -> Navigation, then uncheck the Enable Controller. Just do not forget to uncheck the controller because it will not work for you and it might just cause problems the next time you use the app.
Blurry Images
You can fix issues that may indicate no high resolution in a particular area. This can sometimes be caused by layers that may be blocking the imagery. Thus, turn the layers off from the Places panel in which you need to clear the cache. Just go to Preferences -> Cache -> Clear disk cache. Then you can restart Google Earth and view the results.
