    Sudden change in font size and the appearance of unwanted windows


    I have been having an annoying problem when typing anything. The text font size magnifies, as well as the window itself, making impossible to see everything correctly.Also, often I get an unwanted window out of nowhere, or having asked for it specifically, as well as a sudden blue shadow over the text that sometimes erases what was written without explanation because we have not asked for it. It appears is a problem of stability. I have tried different solutions, but nothing really seems to work out. I am using an external mouse and wonder if this might be part of the problem.Thanks for listen

    :)

    Unwanted font size changes

    I have two laptops. The one that was Windows 7 that I (unfortunately) upgraded to Windows 10 is fine. The new one, that I am having the unwanted font size changes on, is a touch screen Windows 10 Dell computer. Since it is a new computer the graphic card
    should not be an issue. Any other suggestions?
