Windows 10: Why when opening certain Windows 10 Applications does it cycling through options automatically?

Where has this issued occurred?


When opening a photo in the app "Photos," the application will automatically scroll through all my photos and end on the last one. I do not have slide show open. I have no way to stop it, it just keeps scrolling through until it gets to the last photo. This does not happen when the application in running in the background. But when I bring the app to the front, it starts scrolling through.


When opening settings, "Network & Internet" will be automatically highlighted. When I select the search box, "Network & Internet" will automatically be highlighted before I can start typing. I am then unable to type in the search bar.


When opening "File Explorer," I am unable to use the search function. I select the search box, and then immediately the arrow next to the search bar is highlighted.


When trying to use the built in search function in the taskbar, I am only able to type one letter before the search bar finds results, making me unable to type.


I haven't tried other applications to see what is going on.


I have unplugged my mouse, the issue still occurred.

I have unplugged my keyboard, the issue still occurred.

I have reset my computer, the issue still occurred.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows fails to open applications

Hi,

Once I have several applications open Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 refuses to open further application. I have heavy-weight applications like Delphi and Eclipse open, but the OS has coped with this in the past.

No error messages are reported by the application I am attempting to open, and there are no messages in the event viewer. What is really strange is that once the OS gets itself into this state, it appears that the OS can't allocate enough memory to perform simple API calls. If I go into an application that is already open and try to open the file menu, or right click on the taskbar to open the context menu, nothing happens.

If I close a few applications, then the problem goes away. The Task Manager performance tab indicates that I still have ~1Gb of physical memory available.

I think this could be caused by:

- A memory module is damaged. My memory is comprised of 1x1Gb modules. When the system attempts to allocate memory in the second module, it is unable to. I think this is a bit of a long-shot because I wouldn't expect my PC to boot if a memory module was playing-up

- I've installed something that has put something malicious on my PC. The only things I've installed recently are PRGrep and WinGrep, but unfortunately I didn't make a system restore point, and windows hasn't retained those old restore points. However a full Sophos scan doesn't show-up anything.

Any suggestions on how to diagnose/fix this welcome because I'm baffled as to what is going on.

Thanks,

Frank.
