Opening a Word doc in a Second Desktop from Explorer

Thank you so much for your reply!

To clarify, the problem is that whenever I try to open another word doc in file explorer in a second desktop it goes back to the desktop in which there already is a word doc open and opens the requested doc there, instead of in the second desktop.

I have tried the repair and it did not help. Any other suggestions?

Desktop items open Libreoffice; windows bugged and flickering

My mother's PC had the most bizarre bug I've ever seen this morning.

PC specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit
Version: 1903 when problem occurred (1909 now)

What happened:

• all desktop items, including folders, opened in Libreoffice Writer; once open it displayed a blank document then began flickering as if it had bugged while scrolling
• opened Task Manager from the task bar, selecting the second tab opened the final tab, which began flickering like Libreoffice
• problems stopped after a restart, then occurred again after another restart; then stopped after the PC ran for a short time
• no error popups or BSODs
• she said Candycrush reported an error earlier but it didn't occur when I looked at it; she said it mentioned "something about the desktop"

Steps I've taken:

• did a quick virus scan then reboot scan with Windows Defender; no problems found
• sfc /scannow; no problems found
• installed update KB4537572 and upgraded system to 1909; updates appear to have been successful, no other updates available

At the moment the problem has disappeared, but since it reoccurred previously I'm not sure it hasn't been fixed.

I'm out of ideas. What else can I check and what other tests can I run? Based on the given information could anyone suggest what the problem might be?

 

Pinyin IME disable sign showed up

Hi Mimi,

We may need to review the language settings on your computer to correct the problem. Before we proceed with applying necessary changes, please answer these questions so we can gather more details:

• What update was installed on the computer?
• How do you switch between input languages?
  

You can follow these steps to check the current input language settings on your device:

• Click on Start.
• Open Settings.
• Select Time & language.
• Go to Region & language.
• See if Chinese is still available. If it's not, click on Add a language to download the Chinese input language.

Once you are able to add the language, we can configure the input methods in Control Panel. Here are the steps:

• From Region & language in the Settings window, click on Additional date, time, & regional settings.
• Open Language.
• On the left panel, click on Advanced settings.
• Under Override for default input method, choose Chinese - Microsoft IME.

Let us know if you're able to fix the problem after trying the suggestions above.

Come back if you need more help.
