Windows 10: Windows 10 menus and web pages scrolling

Hi


In the last couple of days, web pages and menu's, the start menu and word docs automatically scroll far right or down to the end as soon as you click or hover.


Tried adjusting mouse settings.

Updated mouse drivers.

keyboard working okay, no stuck keys.

changed batteries in both.

only item showing in devices with an issue is a "pcouffin device" with an exclamation mark, never seen this one before, but a google search shows it as a windows device, wont update drivers, doesn't change issue if you disable it, so presume unrelated.

change my mouse for a corded item, no change.

windows is updated to the 2020-04 update.

no new downloads or software for the last week/ 10 days and this started Monday.


Is this a known issue for which a fix will be forthcoming.

if not any suggestions would be appreciated as I currently have to shrink everything to keep it on the screen, makes it a bit small to read!


thanks


Steve

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

Win 10/IE 11 Java chat box does not scroll up/down with the web page

I log into an internet chat website and the chat room window is apparently run by Java. Using an older laptop running Win 8.0/IE 8 the chat window would move up and down as the web page was scrolled up and down, staying in the same relative position to the webpage text.

On a new laptop with Win 10 I have IE 11 and have installed Java, all latest OS, IE 11 and Java updates applied. In this config when that web page is scrolled up and down, the chat room window does not move, stays static on the display (still displays new messages). As the webpage is scrolled up/down the webpage text overlays/overwrites the Java chat box.

It appears the Java chat window is detached from the surrounding webpage.

The older laptop with Win8.0/IE 8 was with Win 8.1, IE 11 and Java updates. It then began exhibiting the same issue.

I have tried adding the webpage to the IE 11 compatibility view list but still have the same problem.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Building a Web Page Help

I am building a web page for my store and i admit its not my strong point. I have used Dreamweaver CS4 and the site when uploaded to the server does not show the frames i used to design the web page.

Any suggestions?
