It doesn't happen very much. When I go to the top of the screen and the pointer touches on one of my favorites, the favorite disappears. if I scan across the favorites with the mouse pointer every one of them disappears. I usually restart the computer and everything comes back to normal. What is happening? The Laptop mouse input is disabled and I am using a remote mouse.
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses issues with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7, where the favorites menu disappears upon interaction, and frequent prompts to upgrade to Windows 10. The original poster mentions experiencing odd behavior, such as line feed problems in messages and concerns about malware and outdated ActiveX components, which they suspect are related to forced Windows upgrades. Respondents suggest resetting IE, updating plugins like Flash, and share troubleshooting tips, with the overall tone reflecting frustration but also helpfulness from the community.

Hi wilhelm I'll give it a shot. You may get more replies latter! I'm assuming your talking about Internet Explorer.
I'm sure you have tried resetting IE. I don't run IE Here's a couple of links you might give a look!

I did it and I forgot to mention that I have been getting an Adobe Flash Player ActiveX msg that I need to upgrade. I think what is happening Microsoft is doing everything possible to force you to upgrade to Win 10. I can't stand Win 10. Another msg said my ActiveX is outdated.

Hi wilheml ! A lot of people don't like W10. I'm really liking it myself. I don't know why MS is trying so hard to get users to upgrade!
You issue is really weird. Sense no one was replying, I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm like @kemical; I hate to see threads not get answered.
I think some times I'm to aggressive about replying, but I do get it right some times. Not understanding "Idid it" in your reply.
Maybe you will get better replies latter. I'm a FireFox user. Seldom use IE. Do you have the latest version of IE and all the up dates??
Very important to keep Adobe up dated also. They are a magnet for malware and you need to keep it up dated. I'm sure you are aware of that.

I did the reset on IE. I am running IE 11 with all upgrades. You know every time I try to do something, IE takes me to a Win 10 page and I hate
to do anything they have to offer, instead of a Win 7 page, part of their prompting me to change I think. Like I say it is weird and it may happen
every couple of weeks so I just reboot and all is well. Guess it is one of the spooks of computers.
Okay why do I get the line feed that shows up like it is above. It happens a lot and I have to fix it.

I can get the same as your screen shot. What I am talking about go to my post above and see the wording where "Hate" and "Happen"
are, why did the line not fill in instead of doing a line feed.
ExampleXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hate
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Happen
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Wish I could screen shot and outline things on a computer may have to get Grand Son to give me some help doing things I don't know how to do.

Thanks for helping fiend!
May I add that if you get errors, you might need to run sfc /scannow 3 times to fix all the violations or what ever.
Malware could cause strange behavior also.
Thanks @Neemobeer Your knowledge blows my mind!
I wish I were young again and could learn these things.
