    Windows 11 Occasional delay when scrolling or typing (reboot fixes it)

    This is so strange. It may happen a couple of times a day, or not at all. When it does happen there will be, every minute or 30 seconds, a 2-second delay to both typing and scrolling. This affects three browsers, Steam and Windows itself. I can get rid of it by rebooting, but not much else...

    Windows 10 How to Restore Multiple Columns for Taskbar Program Icons in Windows

    At one time I could set my taskbar wide enough to show all all my program icons because they displayed in as many columns as needed to do so. I liked that. Now, no matter how wide the taskbar is, they only form one column and you have to use the scroll bar to see the rest. (See screenshot) I...
