    Firstly, I am not someone who is oblivious to windows settings, advanced options in the office suite etc.


    But seriously for the last 5 years or so it seems the most basic and fundamentally important function within windows/office is becoming un-useable. I strongly suspect this is because you are prioritising UXP for people on touchscreen devices, but if that is the case can you not include an option for those of us who have more important stuff to do than check facebook updates, like say running a business and putting food on a table the option to retain actual useability of the computer software we paid you good money for.


    It is seemingly impossible now to just place a cursor were I want to highlight and drag to the end of the where I want to highlight without it highlighting an entire paragraph, or skipping the cursor to a completely different part of the page, selecting the entire document or engaging some other random function I had no need or desire for.


    Is there some kind of magic setting to correct this nonsense other than all the entirely obvious ones?


    Who tests your software? They need new employment.

  3. No Fluent Design Reveal Highlight in Start Menu - Fall Creator's Update

    Transparency is already enabled. I'm seeing the blurs, but reveal highlight is not transparency. This is reveal highlight, what I
    should be seeing:

    No Fluent Design Reveal Highlight in Start Menu - Fall Creator's Update

    Hi,

    There are different factors that can contribute as to why a certain feature is not functioning correctly on your computer that is running the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. One possible reason could be that the feature got disabled by mistake. For us
    to resolve your concern, we suggest that you verify if the Transparency effects toggle switch under the "Personalization" section of the Settings app is set to "On". Kindly follow the steps below to check the settings:


    • Open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I.

    • Select Personalization from the list of options.

    • From the selection that will show up, kindly choose the option labeled "Colors".

    • Turn on the Transparency effects toggle switch.

    Completing the steps should now allow the Reveal Highlight feature to work again.

    Feel free to reach out to us for further concerns.
