  1. Strange highlight when typing issue


    Whenever I click on the search bar or start typing on word, it highlights what looks like 2 characters after the last letter I typed. It's hard to explain, so here are some screenshots.

    Anyone know how this is fixed?

    Strange pink highlight on hover/tooltip text


    It looks like the RGB value that my computer has set should be similar to R: 253, G: 0, B: 249.
    In the "Colors" directory of regedit there's no value that looks as if it has been set to the hot pink colour. Interestingly the hot pink highlight also shows up for some text in regedit:

    Note: the pink highlight doesn't occur when I actually highlight things. It doesn't disapear when I highlight things either. It just shows up by default on certain bits of text, most commonly settings tabs (File, Edit, Tools, View, etc.) in most programs and hover/tooltip text on things - e.g. Hovering over a text document on my desktop will tell me the Type, Size, and Date modified but all this information has this strange pink highlight.

    Because of this I'm not sure which value to change as Hilight seems to be set to the default blue, could you suggest a directory where I might find the correct value to change?

    Thanks Strange highlight when typing issue :)

  3. Typing in tablet mode is frustrating

    This is most likely to happen if auto-correct has been enabled on your
    Typing
    settings. To rectify the issue, we suggest that you turn it off by following these steps:

    • From the Start Menu, go to Settings then select
      Devices.
    • Click Typing, then toggle off Auto-correct misspelled words. There is also an option to turn off highlighting misspelled words on the same setting.

    Post back if the concern has been resolved.
