Windows 10: Highlight more than one pic. or file

Before, as in week before last I was able, to have a small box at the top left corner of pictures, or files so could check more than one to move or copy, now I have to hold down the ctrl. button & it is a pain. I do use the ctrl lots of times, but it makes it easier if I had that small left top corner box back. Thanks Debra

Post your 8800GT overclock pics

Ok then, download GPU-Z, run it.

Click the highlighted button in my pic, and select save to file.

 

I cannot highlight files in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) Does this issue occur with any specific files in the File explorer?

2) Does this issue occur n any specific drive?

3) Does this issue occur on Files on Desktop?

As a work around, I suggest you to highlight the files of the desktop(if any) and check.

I suggest you to check the issue in Safe Mode and see if it’s working slowly.

To enter Safe Mode in Windows 10:

• 
  Restart your PC.
  
• 
  Press Shift + restart
  before the Windows logo appears.
  
• 
  Click See Advanced Repair Options.
  
• 
  Click Troubleshoot.
  
• 
  Click Advanced Options.
  
• 
  Click Windows Startup Settings.
  
• 
  Click Restart.
  
• 
  You then see a list where you can choose
  Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking (depending on whether you think you’ll need the Internet).
  

I also suggest you to run system file checker scan and check the issue.

Sfc /scannow will inspect all of the important Windows files on your computer, including Windows DLL files. If System File Checker finds an issue with any of these protected files, it will replace it.

Follow the steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Command prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  At the Command Prompt, type:
  sfc/scannow
  
  
  

Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.

 

Unable to highlight files in File Explorer

Hi Ken,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We regret the inconvenience caused to you.

I suggest you to run System file checker. System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

Also, see: Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool.

(Applies to Windows 10 as well)

Hope it helps.
