Another problem 10), probably related to 7) above is that when I right click on the blank desktop, no menu comes up. Nothing happens. I installed 1909 from a DVD (in a VM), then installed Open Shell, and no problems noted. Some of your issues sound a lot like "Tablet Mode". And Tablet Mode auto-switches by default, but, the software needs to see critical hardware items such as a touchscreen. Is this machine touchscreen enabled ? Well the machine might?? be, but I have no touchscreen. There should be a setting to disable Tablet Mode, and while Settings wheel is running, you can type Tablet Mode into the search. Paul Okay, I did that and then I set it to Use Desktop Mode, instead of Use the appropriate mode for my hardware. We'll see what happens on restart. BTW, I'm in safe mode now and, except for the notifications problem, which I solved earlier, all the problems are still here. I'll go over this point by point when I get back to regular mode. YOU WERE RIGHT. THAT SOLVED IT! Thank you so much. What would I have done without you. What do other people do who don't know about Usenet? I googled many of the symptoms and found nothing. And why is MS changing my mode a) for no good reason, b) without telling me? If mode is subject to change, why isn't it displayed prominently all the time? I guess it mistakenly thought it had tablet-style hardware. That's bad too. Everything works again. To set up the win7 computer, I'd have to clean the pile of papers from next to the spare computer, remove and wipe its hard drive, install 7, and reinstall or copy over everything. I wasn't looking forward to that. I have a tendency to jump to conclusions based on thin evidence. Some of your symptoms match the behavior of Tablet Mode, and it's easier to postulate Tablet Mode doing it, than cook up some much longer explanation that isn't likely to pan out. You have way too many symptoms for a simple "single subsystem failure". You had a three-ring-circus of failures. Paul |
