  1. Some programs (Powerpoint, Windows Settings) Cause Flicker


    Windows Pro 10, Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134
    Lenovo Thinkpad W530 in Docking Station
    NVidia Quadro K2000M
    NVidia driver v 24.21.13.9836
    Dell U2717D Flatscreen connected to docking station
    Dell U2717D (DP) driver v 1.0.0.0
    Running the laptop screen simultaneously

    Computer starts normally and generally runs normally. But if I open Powerpoint or the "Windows Settings" app, I get very strange behavior. I'll use the word "focus" to indicate what happens when you click on a window: you changed the focus to that window. If the offending program is on my laptop screen and I click on it to change focus, or click elsewhere to change focus from it to another app, behavior is fine. But if the offending program's window is on my flat screen, changing focus to or from that program causes the screen to flicker: it blacks out and returns immediately.

    I'm thinking that its a driver issue, probably the nvidia driver. Anyone else ever experience this?

    Thx,

    Boz

  2. I want to set up a user account so it opens to the Powerpoint Program. Is this possible?

    Hi Dan,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To make sure I understand correctly, you would like the PowerPoint presentation to launch as soon as the user signs in, is that correct?

    If so, you do have the option to add PowerPoint to the list of startup programs. Startup programs are the programs that automatically loads when a user signs in. This feature will launch the program directly once the user signs in.

    To add Powerpoint to startup immediately, follow the steps below:

    1. Type PowerPoint in the search bar.

    2. Right click on PowerPoint and select "open file location".

    3. In the new Window, right click on the powerpoint icon and select "create shortcut". A new shortcut will be created on the desktop.

    4. Press Windows key + D to go to desktop.

    5. Right click on the powerpoint shortcut and select "copy".

    6. Now, follow the path to locate the startup folder.

    For all users:

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    For a specific User:

    C:\Users\The User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    7. Paste the powerpoint shortcut in the startup folder.

    8. To confirm, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open task manager, click on "startup" tab and see if powerpoint is listed.

    9. If listed, you have successfully added the program to the startup list.

    10. Restart the computer and check.

    In addition, you have the option to pin the PowerPoint icon to the taskbar so that it is accessible directly without the need to search through the different programs.

    To pin the program to the taskbar, follow the steps below:

    1. Login to the user account

    2. Type PowerPoint in the search bar.

    3. Right click on PowerPoint and select "pin to taskbar".

    Hope this helps.

    Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to help.
