I still have ver. 1809. Do I want 1903?

Windows has WANTS! Shades of The Forbin Project. Seems the singularity is closer than I thought. Waiting for Windows to be renamed Colossus. ;-) You can download the DVD and do it, and just right-click to mount the ISO and kick it off. You don't have to sit there waiting and waiting for it to show up. The MediaCreationTool1903 version is small enough to fit on a single layer DVD and has seven different SKUs of Windows 10 on it (Home and Pro plus five others). Another "direct download" alternative method, fetches a DVD with 11 OS versions, and it requires a dual layer DVD if you want it on optical media. The last two versions of Windows 10 have done this (1809 and 1903). Half-way through the 1809 cycle, they started shipping a more bloated DVD. Previous versions before those, came closer to always fitting on single layer media. Paul |

It's working fine for me. But you're a "nuke and pave" person, who "nukes and paves" just because the weather outside looks rainy :-) Just for the record, tell us how many times you've reinstalled Windows "for fun". Paul |

If you were talking about Win 10, every time a new build was out, I did a clean install. I just don't quite trust the upgrade process. I also frequently reinstalled Win98 at work decades ago. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

And I was using the LT during the upgrade until the very end. Very easy. As it turns out, I've had a bad connection since Sunday. So the download starts when I start it, then fails. I'm glad I'm not in a hurry. |

If I hold the key down, I can see it bouncing from one page down back to the top and back again, over and over. This might have also happened once with some other program. Could this be a windows problem? That the new version will fix? You neglect to mention WHOSE document (web page) you loaded into Becasue I don't have a good example. Firefox. Javascript can be used to reposition the document when thresholds are reached, like when a particular line comes into view within the document window of the web browser. What you describe sounds like someone coded the web page using Javascript to automatically bounce to an anchor define in the web page, like one defined at the top of the page. You also neglected to mention if you already tried the standard troubleshooting steps: disable all extensions in Firefox, start Firefox in its safe mode, try a new profile in Firefox, reboot Windows with startup programs disabled. I did most of that. I sincerely doubt any changes to the OS is going to repair whatever is wrong with a particular app, like Firefox, or how you configured it, or how the document was coded. This really should've been its own separate discussion instead of tucking it under your inquiry about the 1903 update. No, because it's only if it stood a chance of fixing the scrolling problem that I was in a hurry to update windows. You said you didn't think it would help and no one said it might, so I'm in no hurry to update. |
