If you want to eliminate a possible windows problem, make yourself a live linux media, Mint 19 is good, and test the problem on that system. If all is ok, just install it and live happily ever after.

Linux Junkies seem to to like Windows 10 newsgroup; I seem to see more about Linux junk (and Apple Bananas Mac) on this newsgroup than anything about Windows 10. Could it be because Windows 10 hasn't got any problems and Linux-Junk has so many problems that only Windows 10 users can resolve them. And why does he think I'd install an entire operating system to solve a problem? I already know the problem is software. I can repeat the problem with another keyboard.

[snip] There's no such thing vulgar language.* They're just words. IIRC, The original meaning of "Vulgar" was just that it was a word than many people used. Nothing about it being bad. Anyway, I never really understood the idea of "bad words" (whether called vulgar or something else). Consider a certain product most people call "toilet paper". Businesses call it "bathroom tissue" (as if that would make it any better). If you want to, you could call it "asshole wipes", it's still the SAME product. Yes, I will avoid some words, if the person I'm talking too objects. That is RESPECT which is something very different from an inappropriate feeling of guilt. One misplaced adjective is "offensive" (when referring to a certain word). There's nothing offensive about saying that word. If there's any thing offensive, it's only within the listener's mind. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power or reasoning." -- Voltaire, Philosophical Dictionary, 1764
