windows 10 Is it "safe" to end COM Surrogate from Task Manager?
by Guest SteveJ___- 0 replies
- 8 views
Since some recent update, when I browse photos and than, when I want to delete them, I am not able to do so because file is still opened in "com surrogate". Sometimes it is needed to wait just few seconds, sometimes minutes, sometimes even dozens of minutes before com surrogate stops "using" file and I am able to delete it.So, question from title. If I click on com surrogate in task manager and do "End task" option, will it restart/shut down my entire system or it will just "reset" itself like windows explorer, for example? Continue reading...

windows 10 Filter keys notification coming when turning on laptop
by Guest Pritish Kr Singh- 0 replies
- 4 views
Everytime when I turn on my laptop, there is pop up with a notification of filter keys for tuning it on or off. Keyboard stops working and I need to click on ease of access icon on lock screen, then have to turn on navigation. After that I have to immediately put my password then only it allows some process and then again give me option to fill password. This time it starts working properly. From the past 6 months, I am struggling with this issue. I am not getting direct option to fill password and enter home page. I think it is because of that notification of filter keys.

windows 10 Filter keys turning on automatically with a sound causing keyboard typing wrong letters
by Guest Pritish Kr Singh- 0 replies
- 5 views
My laptop is turning on its Filter Keys setting without being asked to do so. Or at least that is what it sounds like based on the description online.This has the effect of reversing the Caps Lock key, which puts small text in all caps and vice versa. It also makes it impossible to type a period because this key appears instead: > A similar problem happens when I try to type a comma, resulting in this key: <Other keys also similarly are mistyped as the keys that would appear if I hit the Shift key. When I hit the Caps Lock key, it changes the size of the letters that are typed, b Continue reading...

I am new to asking on this forum so please mind that I might not use the right terminology but here but here I go!You see, I've recently been trying to fix my dad's PC with a replacement motherboard after the last one spoilt on his holiday due to many power outages.

I open my browser (I've tried chrome, opera, yandex, microsoft edge) and when search something up it loads normally, like shows all websites and all (which means it's not a network problem) but when I click on ANY website it doesn't work, it either loads forever or I get an error like check your internet connection and other stuff. btw I haven't made any recent changes on my laptop it just started doing that recently (oh and sometimes, very very rarely a website might actually open but then it's just too slow it practically doesn't work) Continue reading...
