Unfortunately, Windows key+i shows a setting screen for about one second. I can't resond that fast and in the same way, I cannot bring up the start menu during the time the magnifier won't start. I'm not precisely sure what the magnifier program is called or where it is but perhaps I can add it...

Thanks for these instructions. I haven't tried the Windows key + i before. I'll try that next. However, other suggestions requrie that I can bring up the start menu. During the period that I can't make the Magnifier start, pressing ctrl+escape to open the start menu doesn't work. Clicking on...

I have not tried the Windows key plus i before. I'll try that the next time I start my computer. I wanted to do ctrl-escape and search for "magnifier." However, while my computer is in this state that won't allow for clicking and then opening the magnifier from its icon, it also refuses to...

Great. Thanks for the quick responses. Much appreciated.

I used to have things set up so that if I wanted to mail a page link from, say, FIrefox, Windows would prompt me to choose a mailing program and then I could set an addressee and send email. I don't remember what I had to do to set that up but I'm hesitant to do it again because of Windows'...

Thanks! This worked well.

Beginning last week, Windows 10 has begun to shut itself down randomly. I will be working away on some task or watching a video and boom, the screen goes dark. The power is on but the computer is off. It happened twice Wednesday evening and twice on Friday evening. It has not happened every day...

For several weeks now, for no apparent reason, whenever I open Notepad, it shows up at the topof the screen under the task bar (I moved it to the top of the screen). That would be okay except that the top part of the Notepad window, where the X and minimize and maximize icons are, doesn't show...

I have Windows 10 enterprise on my home desktop computer. I have a Planar monitor that has touch capability. To make a long story short, touch worked in June 2019. It has not worked since. I moved last July and, not having found the right cables, connected the computer and the monitor with VBA...

I am using Windows 10 Enterprise. There are some basic things that I want File Explorer to show every time I open it regardless of directory or drive, such as type and size of a file. There are other things I never ever want to see but File Explorer randomly forces them on me, such as album...
