  1. Right click erratic, sometimes it works and I can find what I want, othertimes disappears...


    I'm on the latest Windows 10, using a generic wireless mouse. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't I also have a problem with dropdown menus. in that they disappear almost as soon as they open

    Also, I tried to use the slider to control the speed of doubleclick, as soon as I touch it it moves all the way to fast, and if I drag it to slow it slides over to fast.

    I had great difficulty getting to this forum as the dropdown boxes weren't working for me, I had to use the search facility creatively. :-

  2. Taskbar doesn't disappear when entering fullscreen

    I tried the Ctrl-Alt-Del and found Windows Explorer. Unfortunately, I didn't choose Restart; I killed the process. (didn't read the instructions well enough!) :-/ ... I did eventually find a way to Restart Windows Explorer, but the problem (disappearing Task bar not disappearing/reappearing as it should/used to) did not solve itself. I then RESTARTED the PC. Still not fixed.

    So, I found another answer from microsoft and followed those steps. It worked! (needed the display driver updated.)

    Here's that set of instructions:

    I suggest you to try updating the Display Adapter drivers check if it works for you.

    Follow the steps to update the Display driver:

    Press Windows Key + X key and click Device Manager.
    Expand ‘Display Adapters’.
    Right-click on the Display Adapter listed and click on ‘Update Driver Software’.
    Select the option to automatically search for the updated driver software.
    Restart the computer after its updated and verify.

    Also try to access the computer manufacturer's website and download the latest chipset and display drivers for your computer and install the same.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
