    In the past few days, without any changes to my system a number of things seem to have started:Thumbnails of images don't really load. If I restart the computer they seem to be there but when I add a new image, the thumbnail doesn't seem to appear, until I restart again. The bar with the location that loads when doing searches for example starts loading without doing anything other than opening the folder. It happens to any folder, and any drive on my computer. Files are often there, but again, no thumbails. The bar gets near 99% of the way but sits for a long time, not unlike some of my sea

    Windows Explorer acting strangely..

    Thanks for the thought.

    Just this morning, right now, I saw it opened on 'quick access' (fortunately not hanging this time) even though I've tried to disable that so I had a sudden thought and went into the view stuff again and sure enough found right at the top a choice of where explorer should open: 'quick access' or 'this pc'.

    So I have set it for 'this pc' and maybe that'll be the fix.

    and while I was sticking that screenshot in this post I noticed explorer opened with this date grouping thing again, which I hate and I thought I had removed.... I'll try again...

    wouldn't it be good if we could get up a sort of list, like a spreadsheet list maybe, listing down the column all the nonstandards features we've either chosen to implement or MS has stuck in there for us or third party software has put in.... with columns across the sheet detailing what it does and how/if it is necessary for this or that or nothing and enabling us to simply put a checkmark in a cell and have the feature disabled?

    Maybe even a cell at the top we can check and have the whole sheet go back to basic default?

  3. What is smooth scrolling?

    Hi Kenneth,

    Smooth scrolling is a feature available in Internet Explorer that allows you to scroll through a web pages smoothly, as the name of the feature suggests. If this is turned off, when scrolling through a web page, you'll notice that the scroll
    bar slides down as if it's slightly delayed, but if this is turned on, the scroll bar slides down smoothly, without delay.

    This is useful when scanning through long web pages or articles.

    To turn on/off smooth scrolling, see the following steps:

    • Open Internet Explorer, click the gear icon, and then click
      Internet
      Options.
    • Click on the Advanced tab.
    • Locate Use smooth scrolling, and tick the check box if you want it turned on/off.

    Let us know if you have further questions.

    Explorer acting strangely. Things not appearing correctly but program runs smooth.

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Explorer acting strangely. Things not appearing correctly but program runs smooth. :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
