I have version 16.04 If that helps

Guys im somewhat computer literate but that was in the DOS/WINDOWS days Im lost with Ubuntu.
I have reported this earlier but in all Ive had this problem for years. Can someone please help me with fixing this bug? Or is it like Windows where I can reinstall the operating system after doing a backup and all problems should be fixed? Cheers and Thx in Advance
