HELP! Avid Fast Track Solo won't work (Pro Tools Express)

[titalwaves]

I have a Avid Fast Track Solo that I bought about 2-3 yrs ago. I have never had a problem with this interface what so ever...Until yesterday. I am currently operating under the 1.0.4 version. I am using my Fast Track Solo with the supplied DAW that came with it: Pro Tools Express.

Problems:
- Windows Media Player won't play music (Message pops up that says, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file...)
- YouTube videos no longer play (Message comes across video window that says, "A error occured. Please try again later)
- Unable to open a "New" or "Saved" session in Pro Tools ("DAE Loaded..." gets stuck)
- If by chance the session does open, a message is displayed that says "Restoring Video Engine Settings". Then the session gets frozen up.

However, if the Avid Fast Track Solo is disconnected from my computer, all ofthe settings go back to normal (both video & music)
The ILOK is reading perfectly fine (though it did said that my "Liscense Damon is Outdated; Too old")

Does anyone know what maybe a solution to my problem? Any input would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Also if this helps any:
- The "chime" can be heard when the USB is plugged into the laptop, connecting the Fast Track Solo
- The display lights come on the interface indicating that it is connected to my laptop.

I updated my computer from Windows 8 to Windows 10.
Now YouTube videos play just fine, also Windows Media files play correctly. (WAV, MP3, etc.

I'm still having problems with Pro Tools Express though! The session takes longer than usual to open & load. Also when I play a track it stutters. When stopping the track it takes at least 6 seconds for the DAW to stop.

Any suggestions?
