  1. windows 10 automatically selecting last icon issue


    When I start my computer last icon of the desktop automatically selected. When i click on other icons only the last icon is opened. I can open the icons if i press the TAB button and refresh.But it is limited to some time only. Also web pages are scrolled down automatically till the end. It stops if I press TAB. But after some time it starts again. i installed the latest drive. this problem is from oct 2019 update


    I am having this problem with my laptop running Windows 10 Pro.
    Whenever I restart or startup my laptop the last icon on the desktop is automatically selected. If I try to open or click a file on my desktop it will select the bottom one or open it.
    This also happens in apps it's fine at first I can scroll up and down but when I click anywhere on the page it scrolls down automatically and I am unable to scroll up. I have tried resetting my pc and it still happens.

    I have switched keyboards and mouses and uninstalling drivers but nothing is working. This also happens in folders!!

    It's really frustrating, and I feel like taking it to a repair shop. I have run antiviruses and it has found no malware or virus.

    I'm not sure if the fixes that you guys have will work since it automatically chooses whatever is at the bottom, and rearranging the icons doesn't do
    anything it just chooses whatever is at the bottom.

    If u have a fix please let me know!

    :)

  2. Printer and icon selection issues

    Hi Mike,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    For Windows Icon, store and start menu, I would suggest you to follow the steps and check:

    • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type CMD
    • Type the following 4 commands at the CMD prompt:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

      sfc /scannow

      powershell

      Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    • Close the CMD window
    Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.

    For Printer, I suggest you to Uninstall and re-install the Printer drivers in compatibility mode. Try the below mentioned steps and check if it helps:

    • Go to your manufacturer’s website and download the
      Driver setup file
      for your computer.
    • Press Windows Key + R on your desktop screen to go to run box.
    • Type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter.
    • Look for Driver, expand, then right click and select
      Uninstall
      .
    • If you are prompted to Confirm, then Confirm.
    • Go to the location where you had saved your downloaded setup files of the drivers and
      right click, then select Properties.
    • Select Compatibility Tab.
    • Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list.
    • Let the driver to install and then check the functionality.
    Do notify us if the issue still persists and we'll be glad to help.

    Microsoft to push automatic Windows 10 upgrades in 2016

    "Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will be automatically rolled out next year to all users of its older operating systems who have selected to receive updates.

    Until now, users of Windows 7 and 8 have needed to register to upgrade to Windows 10. But that's about to change: soon the OS will be listed as an 'Optional Update' and -- from 2016 -- a 'recommended' update that will automatically install itself, if users have opted to receive updates in that way.*Shadedshun :shadedshu:

    You can opt out of automatic updates to avoid this, but Microsoftsays that "we strongly discourage this in today’s connected world because of the constant risk of internet threats". You can also change your Windows Update settings to install critical updates but not recommended ones. Although it's still going to be possible to avoid installation, Microsoft seems quite determined for everyone to be using Windows 10 in near future.


    The roll-out of reserved updates was initially staggered but, according to Microsoft, now Windows "will automatically kick off the upgrade process once you have made a reservation".

    As an intermediate stage, Microsoft says that it will "soon" publish Windows 10 as an optional update, not installed by default, but accessible to all users.
    "
