I’ve been struggling with playing the game on my new MSI laptop that came with Win10 installed and an Nvidia GTX960M card. I think I’ve finally managed to get the game to play without freezing after a clean install of the graphics card and switching to windowed fullscreen. However, I now occasionally see a diagonal line on my screen when I play GW2. Any thoughts or suggestions on how I can remedy this? Thanks in advance!

I should probably specify that it’s like a transparent dividing line, cutting my screen in half on the diagonal.
Sounds like you’re talking about “Screen Tearing”. Which is an issue you get when your when your FPS fall out of sync with your monitor refresh times.
Have you enabled Vertical Sync in the Game Graphics Options?

I have enabled it, yes. I don’t know if it would help to specify that it doesn’t happen all the time. Only around portals and when I view the world map.

For kicks and giggles, I’ve been playing around with my settings in game to see if anything helps. I ended up disabling VSync and voila, no more diagonal lines at portals!
This is a corrupt texture bug on Guild wars 2 specific to mobile Nvidia gpus and Windows 10. You actually remedied the problem yourself temporarily, as Vsync is the main cause of the problem for unknown reasons. It causes map hanging at loading screens and artifacts and this diagonal line on occasion. WIthout using Vsync you will suffer screen tearing. This can be avoided completely by running in borderless fullscreen mode or by actually running the game in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
Its a known bug that anet a) wont acknowledge or b) attempt to fix so it seems.

Thanks MrFayth, that fixed the same problem for my GF in GW1
