    Hey, like a week ago windows started doing weird stuff.


    It all started when i noticed my computer is so slow i can barely open foldersGoogle Chrome takes like 16 seconds to load and i can barely launch any of my games. The first thing i did was that i tried running a Virus Scan with Windows Defender but when i opened it things got weird i noticed that real time protection was off. I thought ohh finally i found the issue i went ahead and turned it back on... but then it instantly turned back off i tought maybe i accidently double clicked so i tried again... still no luck... then again and again i couldnt turn it back on and couldnt acces any other s

    weird stuff

    Hi

    I am a student, and in my notes, i type a lot of forward slash ( / ).

    whenever I type these... whole new words appear.. and there's no way for them not to.

    For example, i typed DON'T/not

    and that got automatically replaced with DON'Temperature... weird stuff like that.

    And it keeps doing it.

    I can't type stuff like N/A... anything with a forward slash

    I don't know why cause I'm rubbish with technology.. but if anyone knows id appreciate the help!

    Shortcut key for "My Stuff" ?

    Using Windows 10, here's the steps I'm taking to search for files on the computer:

    • Click Start Menu (or tap the Windows key on the keyboard)
    • Start typing a search term
    • Click "My Stuff"
    • When it finds your file, click it to make the file open
    • If you want to open File Explorer and peruse similar files without opening files:
      • After clicking "My Stuff" (in Step 3) go to the bottom area under "Other places to look" and click "File Explorer"
      • File Explorer opens

      Question: I don't want to use the mouse to click "My Stuff" in step 3. Is there a shortcut key?
