Esc function

I followed the steps that you suggested and turned off the Hardware accelerator and things worked last night however today back to the same issue.

I saw a video on YouTube that mentioned pressing the shift and the Esc at the same time. I performed that feature and a pop-up appeared with End Task and I pressed end.

The result was that the page ended and I would go to another tab which was opened and worked for a while but came back to the same issue.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
