  1. Selection keeps moving to the right on it's own.


    This problem started just a couple days ago and it only happens in Windows programs and none of the downloadable applications like Spotify, Discord, or Steam. Whenever I type in the search bar it deselects while I'm typing and when I try to navigate the start menu the selection moves to the top right on its own. Same in applications like calculator and even in the settings it moves to the right on its own. It can't be the mouse because I have full control of the cursor too. One of my friends said it might've been from the update that happened on 9/29/20.

    :)

    Moving the taskbar

    Hi Kim,

    You can customize your taskbar to pin your favorite apps to it, move it to where you want to display on your screen, and specify how taskbar buttons group together when you have more than one window open. To address your question, we suggest
    that you follow these steps on how to move your taskbar to a different location on the screen:

    • Open Settings and choose Personalization.
    • Select Taskbar.
    • Under Taskbar location on the screen, click the drop-down menu and select
      Bottom.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.
