I have recently bought a new lap top with my old one, whilst still working, being taped up due to a few falls. I think I had the same problem originally with that one, but can't remember how I fixed it. What happens which is annoying is when I open a window and move the curser using the touchpad, that and all the windows I have open minimise and a shown on the same page. I have googled it and tried adjusting various settings but it still happens! Anybody have the answer? It is quite annoying!

Hope this isn't patronising Muttley (belive me, my technical knowledge really doesn't put me in that position! ) but could it just be a question of opening in seperate windows rather than in new tabs? Just a thought...0

Is this what you're seeing?

No it generally happens after I just open a window and move the curser in it and then I will have say Charlton life on the left - Outlook on the right and my hard drive contents underneath for example!0

Have you tried turning it off and on5

It's called task view. Meant to be helpful for people to move between different applications/desktops quickly. Something they've copied from Apple...MuttleyCAFC said:

There's a button on the task bar that activates it (that square looking thing right next to search bar, the right of the microphone symbol) or I think it's a three finger swipe on the mousepad activates it also.0 -
If you prefer the former windows then download "classic shell", It is a freebie and dead easy to download and setup and then you can choose your preferred front end (oh Missus!) ie Windows 7, XP but it is still Windows 10. It gets rid of all these annoying quirks that Windows 8.0 onwards presents.5

Thanks both, I'll do that.0

I converted to Windows 10 last year - after 2 days of frustrations I converted back to Windows 8. Never again1

Windows 8 is the biggest abomination of an operating system since Windows MEgolfaddick said:I converted to Windows 10 last year - after 2 days of frustrations I converted back to Windows 8. Never again
Should have upgraded to Windows 75 - Sponsored links:

It should make it easy to turn things like this off and on through buttons!0

I don't have windows 10, but this laptop is the first one I had that had a track pad, and I had all sorts of problems at first because it had a bunch of settings that were too damn clever for its own good. I ended up having to go into the mouse properties menu (is under Hardware & Sound / Devices & Printers / Mouse in Windows 7, dunno if that's still true in windows 10) and turning off all the stuff under gestures, multi-touch gestures and tapping, cos it was interpreting my attempts at scrolling on the trackpad as all sorts of different things that I wasn't intending. Have you checked what you've got set on yours?1

Thanks to the help on here, my issue was the swipe function which is a feature of windows 10 that some people must like, but I hate it. Strangely there isn't a button to turn it off and on but I have sorted it.
Many thanks0 -
Sorry, but I need to know, Was it duct/duck tape ?MuttleyCAFC said:I have recently bought a new lap top with my old one, whilst still working, being taped up due to a few falls.
