    Is there a way to make INSERTION POINT disappear?


    Hiya,

    This is a nit-picky thing I've ignored since switching to Windows and Windows 10 some years ago. Mac OS had this feature which is so obvious to include I didn't even think it was a feature until I moved to Windows. It's a simple thing but complex to explain. I tried creating a picture but that failed.

    See that TEXT INSERTION POINT thingee? If you're in a web browser searching in a search field, you have to place that item there first. Maybe to clear the previous search. But when you start typing -- it's still there. Which is okay. Until you start typing underneath it. Then it momentarily blocks your view of what you're typing.

    In Mac OS that thing disappears while typing beneath it. Windows, no. Does anyone know a fix? 3rd party HooHah? It probably annoys me twice a day and that adds up.

    TIA

    :)

    Disappearing Restore Points

    I have provided 59GB for the Restore Points.

    And I have created one Restore Point that used up less than 200MB of the space provided.

    Yet after a few days, it disappeared.

    This keeps happening many times because I created them just to check whether they disappear like the rest.

    They do.

    And just in case anyone is curious whether I have enabled System Protection, the answer is that I have.

    My understanding of how Restore Points work is that as more and more Restore Points are created and the spaced provided is squeezed, the older ones will be deleted to make space for the new ones.

    This is a very logical step.

    But as can be seen above I have 59GB while the Restore Points created came to less then 200MB!!!!

    I think that the whole argument is becoming more and more futile.

    By right Microsoft must do something to ensure that the Restore Points are not deleted in any way.

    But so far, they have either passed the bug back to the users by suggesting all sorts of programming by the user to solve the problem or better still staying invisible!!!

    Do you know what?

    Not everyone is a programmer and if you screw up, you don't even have the Restore Point to save you!

    Which is what the Restore Point is there in the first place!

    I hope that users will wake up to the fact the Microsoft is passing the bug back to THEM!!!!

    I suggest that users in the US awaken the top hierachy in Microsoft to the deplorable state of affairs in their company!!!

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    System Restore Point Disappeared

    Performed all steps you recommended. It didn’t help. Created restore point disappeared in about half an hour. The following message appeared: “No restore points have been created on your computer system drive”.
