  1. Clicking inside certain applications causes white flashing


    Hello everyone,I've recently encountered a strange glitch across a few applications over the past two weeks. Whenever I left-click with my mouse, it occasionally flashes white, and in full-screen mode, the taskbar briefly appears before disappearing. This behaviour only lasts for a split second, but it's causing an extremely interruptive issue in games like Roblox. In windowed mode, the app icon in the taskbar does the start up animation.Specifically, the glitch breaks the Shift-Lock function in Roblox, which is supposed to lock the mouse to the center of the screen and allow for free camera m

    Flash Player

    Hi,

    One possible cause why your Flash Player was not working is due to a software conflict. To isolate your issue, we'd to know if you've tried accessing the involved sites using another browser. Does the issue still persist?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow these steps to download Flash Player and make sure Flash Player settings is turned on:

    • If you see a Blocked Adobe Flash content puzzle piece near the Favorites button, click it, then either
      Allow once or Always allow to allow Flash on the page.
    • If you don't see a Blocked Adobe Flash content puzzle piece but you do not see a note to download flash on the page, click the download link and Edge should enable the puzzle piece so you can follow step 1.

    Let us know if you need further assistance

    Hi Cindy,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand the inconvenience caused to you. I will be glad to assist you with the Issue.

    I would suggest you to try the below step and check if it helps.

    Try this:


    • Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard.

    • Key in PowerShell and hit
      Enter.

    • Right click on the PowerShell icon
      on the taskbar and select Run as Administrator.

    • Now paste the following command in the
      Administrator: Windows PowerShell window and press Enter key: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    • Wait for PowerShell to execute and complete the command. Ignore the few errors (in red color) that may pop up.

    • When it finishes, try hitting Start and hopefully it’ll start working. If not, this solution won’t apply to you, unfortunately.
