    Hi all,My system is HP spectre x360 running windows 11 digitally licensed. I am facing this issue where the mouse / touchpad is behaving erratically with a mind of its own. I don't even see the mouse pointer but windows menu, notifications, help section etc keep opening automatically. when i use my touchpad, its movement stutters and it opens things where i never even hovered. This erratic behavior happens often and when it happens it's like a ghost has entered my laptop. I can't even shut down or restart the system as the touchpad / mouse is clicking all over my screen with the speed of light

    :)

  3. 5800xm touchscreen started behaving erratically !?

    Hi



    My 5800xm has latest software (6.00.00.3).



    Sometimes the touchscreen behaves very strangely



    e.g when texting touching a alphanumeric key will activate a different key than the one selected



    Sometimes you press a selection on the screen & you feel the vibration/area flashes red but nothing happens.



    This sometimes results in not even being able to quit an application.



    Is this a known issue with this phone ?





    thanks

    Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2
    Diagram 'A' shows Windows' suggested programs
    Diagram 'B' shows the extended list

    I have been trying to edit the context menu's "Open with" list of Windows' suggested programs for the .mp3 extension.
    I'm not talking about the extended list, but rather the programs that first appear 'before' the "choose another app" option.
    If you look at Diagram 'A' you will see the preliminary list generated by Windows, this is the list I am looking to modify.
    I have an .mp3 editor named Goldwave that I use for editing audio files, however, I do not want to change the preliminary program Windows uses to open .mp3s. My .mp3s should remain assigned to Winamp Player.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
