  1. After Gaming for a decent time, when returning to Desktop Windows experiences issues.


    Hello,


    After a medium to long gaming session when returning to desktop windows experiences issues which do not allow me to make selections without spamming clicks, a restart corrects until next long gaming session but I'd like to isolate the issue and correct it rather than restarting my PC after each session of gaming.


    Back to the issue, hard to describe so I grabbed a screen crab of it but not sure how to share that. when clicking start a selection box will fault to the top left and ignore most if not all clicks or selections I make. When attempting to just click the power button and select sleep it will open the three power options and then the selection box will continuously cycle between those. This behavior also happens to any right click lists that pop on the task bar for any applications I have pinned or running and in Xbox game bar as well. If attempting to search with Cortana I am unable to type because the selection is zipping through all the selections available there as well. I can't use settings/windows store or anything as this is happening. Any installed programs do not have this issue.


    I had a one off as well yesterday where instead of the selection issue if I even tried to open the start menu it would flash open and immediately close.

    I have tried the following with no fix until restart then it will just happen again, but as I stated a restart solves it till next session.


    Tried:

    Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    Click File > Run New Task
    Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    Type Powershell
    Type the following 2 commands in the Powershell prompt:
    $manifest = Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore.InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifestand press Enter.
    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"}and press Enter.
    Close the Powershell window.
    Reboot.

    and:

    Added new local account jumped between them and back to mine still happening on mine but not on other account.


    ran SFC /scannow


    ran dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth


    I did all that with administration privileges and nothing solves it so far.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 Retro Gaming Issues

    Hello Jack,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provided, it seems that two games has two different problems which cannot be caused by a common issue. I would try to help you with the information to help you in this issue.

    As an initial recommendation, I would suggest you to reinstall the game RETURN TO CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN in compatible mode of Windows Vista 7 and check if the issue still persists.

    With regards to the issue of admin privileges required for running the game DOOM 3, I suggest you to check if you are logged in to the computer using an Administrator account. If you are and still it continues to notify you, I suggest you to enable the built
    in Administrator Account and check with the results.

    Follow the below steps.

    • Press the Windows key + R from the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box
    • Enter cmd and right-click on the Command Prompt result that should appear.
    • This opens a list of options at the bottom. Select Run as administrator there.
    • Accept the UAC prompt
    • Enter the following command to enable the hidden administrator account:
      net user administrator /active:yes

    Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be happy to help you further.

    Thank You.

  4. After Gaming for a decent time, when returning to Desktop Windows experiences issues.

    desktop is not listed in Ctrl+Tab toggle

    Thanks for the suggestions, DaveM121 and NikhilPosting.

    @DaveM121 - I have GForce Experience 3.7.0.81, and I can't see a ShadowPlay feature.

    @NikhilPosting - I know Alt-Tab very well: this is precisely where I have an issue! the actual desktop is not listed among the thumbnails!

    Window + Tab seems to be merely a variant of Alt-Tab - and it returns the same result: desktop is not listed among the thumbnails.

    Thus, the issue endures...
