    I am having this issue for quite some time now, where it looks like some key is pressed but its actually not, I have unplugged all the input devices and still having this problem. The issue goes away after a restart and comes back after using the system for a couple of hours. It happens only in explorer and start menu, search, action centre, notification area, etc. it does not happen inside any of the programmes for example if I use notepad, word, etc, I don't see this issue. Does anyone know how to fix it?

  2. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

  3. Try3 Win User
    Taskbar acts as if Shift key is pressed when it's not?

    1 I agree that this is a problem. That context menu should only appear if shift-right-click is pressed.

    2 I assume you do not have any utilities like Classic shell running that affect the user interface?

    3 I suggest going to your computer maker, getting a new copy of the graphics driver & installing it.

    4 Does this problem affect others users? If you don't know then create one and test it.

    5 Do you have an alternative mouse/touchpad that you can try?

    6 Are there any warning triangles in Device manager or any group calledOther devices?

    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
