  1. Screen changes on own


    I upgraded to win 10 from win 8 and 10 first came out.

    Lately, my screen when working on anything changes on me. It suddenly reduces in size and the screen shows a choice of other desktop layouts, and below shows different miniature screens of things I worked on in Excel. There is a scale to the right that goes from present to like a month ago.

    What causes my screen to do this. When I tap on the screen I am working on it goes back to full screen and the other stuff goes away. Sometimes this happens several times a day which is very annoying.

    Does this have something to do with Win 8? As it kind of looks like a Win 8 layout.

    :)

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Lock Screen keeps changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Windows Spotlight picks the photos from Bing and displays them in the lock screen. I understand that you have set a picture and it is getting changed automatically.

    I suggest you to follow the steps to select the Picture that you want to be displayed on the lock screen. Please follow the steps mentioned below to set a Picture to lock screen:

    1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open settings.
    2. Click on Personalization.
    3. Click on Lock screen.
    4. Click on the drop down under Background and select
      Picture.
    5. Click on Browse and select the picture that you want to set.

    Hope it helps.

    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
