Windows 10: Drop Down Menu Options go Blank

I recently had an issue with my Win 10 environment after installing and update.

The issue was that the drop down menus had no text in them - they were all blank.

At first I thought it had to do with the app that I downloaded - iTunes in this case, which created an Apple crash log on my computer. So I thought that made it an Apple application issue, so I opened up File explorer to look at the log and noticed the same thing happened to those menus - blank drop down menus, and columns of information about files blank

I tried rebooting - still a problem.

Then I shut the PC down completely and unplugged it. Gave it 10 seconds, plugged it back in, powered up and everything worked just fine.

Can anybody enlighten me on why that would happen?

Pull-down or Drop-down Menu?


I decided to uninstall Firefox after the entries in the Favorites doubled.
(Example: the Yahoo Mail sign-in page appears twice in the list. Deleting
one also deletes the other.)

I have been looking for browsers with pull-down or drop-down menus but
could only find Chrome-styled browsers (without pull-down or drop-down menus).

Would anyone suggest an old style browser?

TIA.

 

Excel Drop Down Menu Question

I'm toying around with a project for work. We're trying to make an Excel spreadsheet that has a list of parts that employees would sort of use to build an order form. It's coming along nicely and works fairly well with the touch screen tablet we have, but I had a question. At the moment, when you highlight a cell that has a drop down list of choice, a small box with a down triangle appears in the bottom right. You click that, then the list of items appears. Is there anyway I can make it so that when you click the cell the drop down menu appears? This would make working with the spreadsheet on the tablet many times easier.
