Question from Kayla:  I spilled a large glass of coke all over my keyboard.

After I saw what I had done I immediately unplugged the power cable from the computer and disconnected the keyboard from the USB port.

I know how to lock my computer using a keyboard shortcut but is there any way to do it using the mouse instead? That would be a big help to me if it’s possible.  [Read more…]

Q&A: Why’s the Start Menu randomly popping up on my PC?

Posted on February 2, 2023

Question from Lauren:  I have an older Dell desktop PC with Windows 10 on it (upgraded from Windows 7).

It has always worked well, but I’ve recently started having a bit of trouble with it.

Sometimes when I’m typing something the Start menu will pop up all on it’s own just like I clicked on the Start button or pressed the Windows key (neither of which is the case when this happens).  [Read more…]
