    Previous screen freezes and causes my cursor to become an eraser


    Occasionally, when I am using microsoft edge and switch tabs the previous tab is still displayed, and my mouse cursor becomes an eraser forcing me to wipe away the previous tab. I have only encountered it while using a browser, and it happens more frequently when I have multiple applications open. If I am currently screensharing to someone they are unable to see it happening and just see me wiggling my cursor around the tab that I am unraveling.

    erase previous version of windows to create space

    Perform the steps to delete previous version of windows :-


    • In the search box on the taskbar, type settings, then choose it from the list of results.

    • Select System > Storage > This PC and then scroll down the list and choose Temporary file
    • Under Remove temporary files, select the Previous version of Windows check box and then choose Remove files.

    No bios screen at boot

    After re-installtion issues with an old standby (Clipmate) to correct an issue with Clipmate...I decided just to revert back to a previous Acronis complete system image tib from a few days previous to the Clipmate change.

    However...I can not get passed the blinking cursor at system start up...no access to bios screen ! Tried additional recent previous tibs but same issue...no bios..only blinking cursor ?

    Have been using Acronis for years and never had any issues like this

    Any Acronis users out there or others that can help me get by the blinking cursor and into bios startup screen...or suggestions on what's causing the freeze at the startup blinking cursor with no access to bios to launch the C drive ?

    Thanks...TiminAz

    Finally! An alternative to eraser...

    it looks much cleaner then the eraser so that is a big step up.
