Issue with selecting programs from taskbar
Hi Everyone,
Honestly, this is driving me nuts, never seen this issue before.
When I have multiple programs running on my computer (Word, Excel, Chrome, and Microsoft Mail (I know Yucky, but Outlook doesn't work with my work's email servers yet...)) the computer will not place one program on top of another when I select one.
For example, say I am working on Word, and I want to bring up Excel. So I click on a currently running Excel from the task bar and word stays in front, excel has loaded behind it (I see the dropbox icon move) but I can only see and select the word file. I have to minimize word and then I can see and work on excel.
The same goes the opposite way, say I'm working in Excel with my Word program minimized. Let's say I want to go back to Word, I select Word from my task bar, and it comes up behind my currently active Excel. I have to minimize Excel and then I see my Word file.
Sometimes, if I click on word three times, it will come up, it's sporadic, so sporadic that I was under the assumption that it was some kind of virus/malware. I've run MalwareBytes Pro several times, as well as run it through Kaperskey, Spybot, and a few other free programs. Nothing came up.
I also called up Lenovo, well...let's just say I won't be buying Lenovo anymore. It's not entiiirely their tech support, the X240 has just been a miserable hardware experience. Horrible mousepad, harddrive has crashed twice, and flimsy (if you pick it up from one side, it BSODs and resets).
Won't purchase one again and wouldn't recommend the line, but that won't be for at least a year, does anyone have any feedback on solving this problem? or have they had this problem before? It seems minor, but it's like a rock in your shoe, after 8 hours....screw that rock get it out get it out!!
Let me know if anyone has any feedback, thanks.
