Windows 10: Logitech M720 mouse randomly causes Desktop/Task Window/Windows Timeline/Other to display

After searching endlessly and finding no discussions that presented with a successful solution I decided look at logitech's feature descriptions as it related to my new M720 mouse.


I found the answer in a blog article published by Logitech - discussing "Logitech Options" software that works with their mice and keyboards that are compatible. The new feature help make using input devices more fluid with Windows 10. Below is a link to the article.

On the M720 the "gesture" button feature located right where the users thumb grasps the mouse, has a default setting to open the aforementioned window when pressed. In my case with the new Windows 10 update it opened "Windows Timeline" each time it was pressed. I was totally unaware that the button existed. Upon setting the gesture feature to "none" the issue resolved itself.


Hope that this helps someone before they get frustrated.

Windows 7 Club

How do I disable the Experience/Assessment Index tool?

If you want to disable winSAT.exe then do the following:


Step 1. Go to Task Scheduler. You simply type it in the search box.
Step 2. Browse to Microsoft\Windows\Maintenance by clicking on the arrow for Task Scheduler Library folder with the clock on it.
Step 3. Disable the task named WinSAT. Which is found to the right in a small boxed window. Right click on the word WinSAT and select disable.

As for the changing desktop if you want to prevent it from shuffling do the following:
-right click on desktop
-click on Personalization
-click on Desktop Background
-Uncheck Shuffle

 

Cannot uninstall bluetooth mouse -- keeps reappearing in dev mgr after setting Bluetooth Off/On

I cannot pair Logitech M720 mouse to my Windows 10 PC. I would Uninstall the mouse from device manager, but when I turn off then turn on Bluetooth from system tray, the M720 mouse keeps reappearing in Device Manager, but not in Bluetooth Show Devices. Trying
to pair it, Windows doesn't even see the mouse while scanning.

My problem is the same as the one discussed in the following link -- the thread is closed but the problem is unresolved:

Cannot remove bluetooth mouse.

I'm running Windows 10 on an Asus M32CD with a Logitech M720 Triathlon Mouse. I have uninstalled Logitech Options but the problem is still happening.

What should I do (short of re-installing Windows 10)?

Thank you.

 

Task Switcher randomly gets stuck cycling windows


Good morning!

I am having an issue with the Task Switcher (see image below) activating on its own. It then begins to cycle through the open tasks very rapidly. When this happens I am unable to actually select any of the tasks, nor can I close them out. Windows is essentially frozen at this point and I have to restart.

A few things to note:

• I am running Windows 10 Pro.
• This happens randomly, sometimes weeks between an incident.
• Sometimes it happens while I am not even working at the computer. I've noticed it after returning to my desk.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
