  1. My Windows 10 computer keeps cancelling things


    When I try to open up the Windows taskbar with mouse, it will just cancel out that action. Like, if I click the Windows symbol on the taskbar, it will open up and quickly close it back even though I only clicked it once. Furthermore, if I try to open the taskbar with the Windows key on the keyboard, it will either open up with no problem or it will not open up, so I have to angrily spam the key just for it to open. The problem with the mouse is the same when I try to open up things like the search bar and notifications icons. It will just either cancel out the action or it will not open up, only highlights it. Sometimes, I'd have to tap the Wins key for the mouse clicks to work. Sometimes, this does not happen quickly, like when I open up the flair bar** and try to find the suitable flair for this post, it will close right when I find the flair I need. Plus, when I'm on a new tab and I type on the search bar and I clicked backspace once, it will sometimes delete only 1 character or it will delete the whole thing.

    Also, I have tried changing my mouse and keyboard. However, the problem remains unsolved. Thus, I came up with the conclusion that the problem is my computer's operating system. I also tried scanning my computer with an anti-virus and all of them didn't detect any viruses or problem. Moreover, I also did the partially factory reset thing and the problem is still here.

    The problems occur more frequently the longer I let the computer stay on so, I would have to periodically reboot my computer just for it work with as little problem as possible. I'd like to send my computer to a tech store, but you know, the pandemic, lockdown and stuff.

    **I forgot what the interactable things on websites are called. Ex: notifications icon on YouTube, the flair "bar"

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows Installer popup on Windows 10 will not cancel

    Hi Brian,

    For us to isolate the issue with the Windows Installer pop-up that can't be cancelled, we would like to know the following:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
    • When you say "It will not cancel", can you tell us what happens when you try canceling it?
    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In he meantime, we suggest that you perform a clean boot. It will help us determine if there are any third-party
    programs/apps that is causing the issue. It could be some other applications or programs.

    We look forward to your response.
