I haven’t had any of those problems, and I also have Applus, but I updated my laptop to Windows 10.
You might want to switch to Windows 10 and see if you still have any problems. It takes about 1 hour to change programs and YouTube has lots of videos on how to do it.
I hope you can find out the problem, I had chronic computer problems with the Bar 97 and there are only a few things more stressful then the smog machine stops working when there is a line of cars waiting
