    When I type one key, two are populating


    When i type a single key of a parenthesis, bracket or a squiggly bracket...TWO show up. These keys: [], {}, I only hit these keys one time and as you can see...there are two. I thought it was a writting app, but I deleted it? So strange...if you know how I can fix this, that'd be great. Thank you.

    :)

    Windows 10 search window self populating

    Hi Peter,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I’ll certainly help you with this.

    Before we proceed, please answer the following questions to help you better.

    • When you say Windows self populate, what does it mean?
    • Do you get any error message/code? If yes, what is the exact message/code?

    I suggest you to run the SFC scan and check.

    System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Command prompt (Admin)       to bring up elevated Command prompt.
    • In Command prompt type sfc /scannow and press enter.
    • Restart the computer.

    Hope this helps you. Post us back with the required information if the issue persist. We'll be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

    SOUND FOR TYPING KEYS?

    Hi Richard,

    The option to play key sound as a user type is available in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 settings. The steps on how to enable the option will depend on the make and model of the device. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the
    following questions:

    • Which build and edition of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
    • What is the make and model of your PC?
    • Is the option "Hear click sounds while typing" available in Gmail and Yahoo mail's settings?
    • What changes have you made to your computer before this issue occurred?

    For initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you manually update your keyboard driver. This
    link provides further information on how to update drivers in Windows 10.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    When I type one key, two are populating

    Windows 10 Media Player will not save music data populated fron external hard drive???

    Hi Day,

    To assist you further, let me ask you:

    • Did you disconnects the external hard drive or is it connected all the time?
    • What exactly do you mean by populated?
    • Are you referring to media player library/playlist?
    If it is about library and the external hard drive is connected all the time, I would suggest you to run Media player settings troubleshooter and media player library troubleshooter.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows key + X and select Control panel.

    2. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click troubleshooting.

    3. Click View all, Click Windows Media player Settings and then media player library troubleshooter.

    I hope the information is helpful and if you need any other assistance on windows, we’ll be glad to help you.

    Thank you.
