Charms keeps opening - driving me crazy

This bar opens at random even when the mouse cursor touches only the right side of the middle of the screen. Between that and the giant clock, about a third of the screen is covered for maybe five seconds. It's amazing how it's common.

If it is useful to know, I use Enterprise edition with mouse or touchpad keys. I never use charms, so a way to turn it off completely would be useful if there is no other trouble.

The only way I know to disable charms bar is to do a registry editing.

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY OR CREATE A RESTORE POINT BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES

You have to run regedit.

Go to start and type regedit.

In the left pane, double-click on regedit.  You can also press the windows key and the letter R to get a run dialog box, type regedit in the box, and then click Ok.

Once, in the registry editor, navigate to the area

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell

Right-click on the right pane, create a new key and name it EdgeUI

With the new key you create highlighted, click again in the right pane and create a new

DWORD VALUE.  Name DisableCharmsHint

Right-click on the new DWORD value you just created and click on the left change.

Change the value from 0 to 1, and then click ok.

Close regedit.

Restart your computer.

The charms won't open hover with the mouse.  To open it again you will need to use the keyboard shortcut windows key + C. You'll find the windows key on your keyboard at the bottom left between the ctrl key and the ALT key.  If you have a laptop, it may be between the Fn key and the alt key but it looks like a windows logo.  Hold down the key and press the letter C and the charms will now open.

You can still drag your mouse on the right side of the screen to the top so he could appear as well.

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts, you can find at this link.

    Hello

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

    To turn off hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

    1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player help page.
    2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on this page.
    3. Click settings on the shortcut menu. The Adobe Flash Player settings screen opens.
    4. Click the icon in the lower left of the Adobe Flash Player settings window to open the display panel.

    5. Remove the enable hardware accelerationcheck box.
    6. Click close to close the Adobe Flash Player settings window.
    7. Restart Firefox.

    This Flash Player help - display settings page contains more information about the Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you are interested.

    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • The new tab behavior is driving me crazy. It keeps re-centering on legs closest to the top of the list when I move a tab. How can I change this?

    The new tab behavior is driving me crazy. It keeps re-centering on legs closest to the top of the list when I move a tab. How can I change this?

    I don't want to download an application. I would rather add a new string in any config or just change those there to false. It makes my life as a rather hard work, to be forced to go all the way back at the end of my list after you move a tab just to have to do it again. I mean it's to the point where I could consider changing browsers if they had tab scrollbars.

    Edit: Now I will download any application. Please stop this stupid feature.

    I downloaded the beta version and it stopped. Thank you all for trying to help anyway. I probably didn't explain my problem very well in the first place, but you tried to help him. Thank you.

  • suddenly I'm asking as a new tab and not google search - driving me crazy

    Ask the home page is driving me crazy. I want my google search customary as that which opens when I press on the new tab. I was everywhere on the internet to try to fix this. nothing works.

    Since there are different options/settings of the standard page in a new window or a new tab, could you confirm if you have one or two of these problems:

    • Ask if poster at the start, in a new window (Cmd + n), and when you click the Home button
    • Ask appears when you open a new tab in the same window (Cmd + t)

    For these two problems, the first thing to check is an unwanted extension. You can view, disable and often remove the extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CMD + SHIFT + a (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a critical look at the extensions listed on the right side. If in doubt, disable or remove if possible. Remember that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Which allows you to regain control of your homepage and view the standard Firefox new tab page?

    If so, here are the details on how to restore your preferred homepage:

    If you find that it works in your session (Cmd + n and give you good home page), but after leaving Firefox and commissioning once again you have bad home page, look for an optional settings file named user.js in your profile (personal settings folder) folder. Firefox uses the settings in this file at startup to override your preferences since the previous session. You can check and delete the file by following the steps in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save (there is a specific section on the user.js files).

    Display Google in a new tab page requires a different approach. From Firefox 41, the browser.newtab.url parameter is no longer used because it was constantly attacked by malware. Now, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

    Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

    • If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

    Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.

    Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom

    After installing one of these extensions, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    New tab Override

    Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

    Custom new tab

    It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

    Success?

  • Why do you put a restriction on facebook in my browser not recognized as its driving me crazy. His facebook and bigger than anything

    recently I noticed that when I log on facebook there is an icon near the lock of the top bar which restricts Facebook. you tell her not to work on every page on fb, connect you to. Facebook is so great and yet it says the icon is there as the https for facebook is not recognized as a place sure enough site. how ridiculous. its as big as the planet facebook. Firefox can solve this problem and remove and accommodate somehow better facebook because if this is not fixed I have to go to use google chrome and I don't want to. its driving me crazy. Thank you

    This thread is a bit confusing! I'll try to summarize.

    Block some content unsecured to secured pages is a trend; I think that Internet Explorer has done this for a while.

    Content integrated into the pages of Facebook is supposed to have already a secure URL, according to developer FB, but that is not running or this problem would not exist. I hope over time this problem will disappear.

    For now, you can use the extension of the toggle joint active content quickly turn your unsecured on and outside content protection. This is a global setting, not site specific, so it's best to leave it on as much as possible.

    After installing the extension, you should find a new icon in the bar of the add-on: an 'A' on a green or red square. Green means Firefox protects you, and red, that it is not.

    If the icon is not in the bar of the add-on (which you can also show or hide by pressing Ctrl + /), you may need to drag it out of the Customize dialog box and drop it in a perfect location. You can open it using one of these:

    • Right click on a zone empty of the tab bar > customize
    • Press the Alt key > menu view > toolbars > customize

    You can get configured as you wish?

  • Programs that have stopped responding are driving me crazy

    Please help me in one last attempt make this usable computer until I have spend money on replacement.

    I had a 1 year (see guarantee) Thinkpad E530 Windows 7 64 bit. It has a 2.5 Ghz Intel i5, 4 GB RAM and Intel HD Graphics 3000. I'm running MSE for antivirus. On paper, it must be able to manage everything that I do on a daily basis. The CPU (usually less than 10%) and the use of the memory of agreement, my hardware is apparently barely stretched by why I do it.

    However, it is slowly driving me crazy. The computer is able to run smoothly in some applications (right now that I am typing for example), but any time I try to change gears by opening a web page or by clicking on a menu in MS Word, the program goes unresponsive for 3-10 seconds. According to what I do, this could happen every 10 to 20 seconds but seems to be worse when a program opens at the outset. May not seem like much, but after months of this, I feel like I spent years of my life waiting for this computer to "not blocked" himself.

    I did a clean install of Windows, run diagnostics on the hard drive, tried to determine priorities in Process Explorer and twisted options in different programs, nothing done. I still often have to look at the small blue circle.

    I'll run any Diagnostics you want, display information on my machine, you name it. If you can make this computer the stutter constantly, I will be eternally grateful.

    Thank you

    Bill

    Bill;

    This is probably not your problem, but it could be a part. If you leave a CD/DVD in the optical drive of computers, they should "launch" and be read to any operation involving the Explorer (aka file operations). This can create some "latency time" which makes your computer appear to "stall" before it happens on what you asked it to do. External USB HDD can cause the same effect to a lesser degree than their playing time is faster than an optical drive.
    You specifically mentioned opening Word as problematic. Try to open in the start menu by typing winword.exe/Safe. Word opens in SafeMode without macros or add-ins. If the word snaps to attention, look what add-ins you have installed, and what you can live without. Disabling or uninstalling necessary add-ins you open Word as an administrator in order to get the privileges required for uninstall.
    On a related note, you might want to look in ReadyBoost. I never use the card reader on my Dell E6410 (with a material similar to yours) so I got a 32 GB SD card and half devoted to ReadyBoost and redirected %tmp% and temporary Internet files in the other half. Now open any office application is instead of restoring from being reduced to a minimum opening the menu start. Note that ReadyBoost on a card reader or USB is more effective when you access many small files. There are many less improved access to a few large files. After initially installing a ReadyBoost drive, you will see an improvement and it gets better as ReadyBoost 'learn' programs and processes access you most frequently. Reformat the SD card dedicated to a NTFS file system also helps.
    Do not confuse ReadtBoost with ReadyBoot. HTH.

  • Why this video keep opening in a new tab without apparent reason

    This promotional video of boring MacDonalds keeps opening in a new tab without apparent reason:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOUdR9vly6s
    

    I do not do anything. I just read that a web page and a new tab will be opened with this video game. Any idea what's going on here?

    It cannot be the cause of your immediate problem, but I suggest strongly that you disable/remove your plug-in popular screensavers - a part of the troublesome MindSpark family.

    Google for information and removal advice. You could start by-

  • pop ups continue to add to update video player and they keep opening keep tabs. How can I stop it?

    New tabs keep open asking me to update my video player

    If the new tabs are relentless, you may need to restart Firefox Safe mode to get little peace. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

    Hello anne, you already have the latest version of firefox installed - these popups are probably a tactic of scam trying to trick you by installing more malware, to not download or run this kind of stuff! just download firefox from its official site at mozilla.org - more updates are managed automatically by firefox if you do not have to download or run .exe files (you can run a check of updates of firefox > help > about firefox).

    If you get unwanted opening pages it is also a sign of already active on your computer of malware. Please do the following

    1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

    Help, please!

    I use a mac 10.5.6 with the latest HP driver.

    When I try to print using a colorprofile I get very poor results! The color management system can not be disabled!

    First of all. Im trying to print using Photoshop CS3. In the PS print dialog, I select:

    -Color management in Photoshop

    -The color appropriate for my HP paper profile

    In the system settings, however, the option to deselect the color management (under paper/quality) is a party! I don't see this option when photoshop does not handle the colors!

    I post a picture, but I don't seem to be able to add one in this forum.

    Every help and FAQ always indicates that the color management wihtin should I disable the control panel of the printer. But I can't!

    If I use the settings colors are very bad! Please help, this is driving me crazy!

    Yes, I found a solution. You must let the re-kalibrate printer out the print heads, putting them back in and restart the printer. HP phone support was very helpful.
