Badwolf Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Sorry Pete - Out of ideas for this one. The only thing that technically appears to set you apart from everyone else is your shooting star graphic and number of posts, which shouldn't cause problems. Have a word with your PC guru when he gets back. It looks to be specific to your PC if your other devices work, but I don't know why. It does look like your machine is still holding data from the old forum release which is conflicting with the new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Pete, There appear to be a lot of queries on the Interweb about tiles loosing their icons in Windows 10. The icons disappear, their boxes remain but are left blank. Yours appear to have written descriptions of what the tabs are, but it seems a similar fault. Do your tabs still work? I wouldn't try the fix without knowing what the commands mean probably best to wait for your Computer Grand Master. Microsoft tiles are losing icons in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I think that you have found the culprit. M/S strikes again. Must be something on your machine and those who are also reporting similar problems. Way beyond me though. Thankfully I have not had these problems...yet. Could be screen driver settings have been screwed?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Just tried it on my computer worked fine which is good news for me but not for you, sorry Pete. Just for info my system is a biggish black box with a blue light and a red one that flashes occasionally. I use google chrome because it's got a colourful logo. I gave up being too bothered about electronics after leaving Racal Defense electronics to move here in '94. I lost confidence in electronic engineers after a test team wanted certain pieces of equipment so they could hack it to listen to the cricket - nobody had a radio!

Doug You've just proved my point. 'could design radios' that's what they did using damned expensive military grade test boxes 😁 When testing the antennas for the radars (in the lab not in place) a dummy microwave unit had to be fitted, the rumour was that if they didn't it would sterilise everyone in the whole town. To test them on a tower they were fitted at another site, more rural, and could only be done when Heathrow was closed in the wee small hours and with correct approval from air traffic control as they would jam everything flying over that part of Surrey.

My Wife, Used to log all the Radar test results, on a very early DOS versioned Computer. At Marconi, C&C Camberley. She still recons that was the best job she had, they left her alone to do her work, as very few had any idea what she did and how!. Her "commute" car was the Vitesse.

Pete Lewis Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 well its taken a lot of people a long time to sort this display of icons out but today Adrian has spent a long time testing and its is not a browser or site problem but something to do with windows contrast settings so as of today ive got lots more typing space and proper icons this has to be a windows update as both desktop and laptop have the same problem now why didnt i know that !!!!!! as a numpty button presser ........Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Glad you finally got a result Pete. Mr Gates Is currently "trailing" Windows 11, JUST as the last Incarnation (10) was (finally) settling down!!. Any Bets, He want`s more money to upgrade?. I supose someone has to pay for his divorce?. A lot of folk I know, go on about "Mac". But even that has issues. I cannot access (fully) this forum, I can read but not post, using the I-Pad (2) which I have won`t upgrade beyond IOS9.4?. So effectivly stuck in the past unless I want to shell out several Hundred Quid Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and keep up Pete! ios 9.4?!! You must have a very old device! I have an iphone 6s, ios 14.6, the oldest device they still update, it works fine on the forum. I read the final update to devices before 6s deliberately slowed them down to encourage owners to buy a new device. Microsoft are incompetent, Apple are devious.

Pete Lewis Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 this was the setting that plagued both PC and laptop why did it get changed by whom etc. but such a simple hidden setting caused a good deal of head scratching by those who know i stood no chance but i aim critic at the windows update same day as the forum security update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I was of the understanding that windows 10 was to be the last numbered version and that it would just be updates after that. Not sure that I can face either more incompetent updates or...an incompetent upgrade. All I want is competent security upgrades to patch up the MS hack holes, something that loads quickly, no bloatware but with an option to install their cr*p if you really want it. I don't want their browser, cloud services, latest office, to know where I am and therefore tell everyone where I am or anything else that I already have. BUT (shouty bit) I do want a virtual windows installer which has on file all the versions of Windows so that I can easily and automatically load all my old, perfectly serviceable, paid for software which MS have ensured won't run under win10 without having the technical knowledge to install a virtual machine, source the version of Windows that will run it and install it. No, I don't want much really...dream on little rabbit. I feel better now, I'll go and lie down for an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
