Launcher and Alt+Tab crashes desktop

Whenever I put the mouse cursor on the launcher the desktop crashes and then comes back without closing the processes running. The same happens when I use Alt+Tab and wait for the windows to appear, but not when I press it quickly enough to change to the previous window.

Can someone help me, please? It's really annoying. I was using my notebook today and it was alright.

EDIT: when I boot on recovery mode, the issue disappears, but when reboot normally it comes back

Have you tried this solution?: Alt-tab crashes gnome classic desktop (12.04) – galoget Jan 03 '18 at 23:44
I tried, but it didn't work. Switched off application switcher and checked the static application switcher, but it keeps the same. – gmolnar Jan 04 '18 at 02:53

Then, it could be a graphics driver problem, try searching for that issue, for example Ubuntu 16.04 graphics crashes with Intel graphics – galoget Jan 04 '18 at 03:00

It worked! I reinstalled the X drives as showed in here. Thanks a lot! – gmolnar Jan 04 '18 at 03:36
You're welcome, glad to hear that, I'm marking this question as duplicate of the solution that worked. =) – galoget Jan 04 '18 at 03:38
