There appears to be a bug with the Chrome icon in Windows 10. Here’s how to fix the huge Chrome icon that appears from time to time.

  • Right click the Chrome shortcut and choose “Open file location”
  • Right click the file “chrome.VisualElementsManifest.xml” and choose “Rename”
  • Add “.old” to the filename (i.e. “chrome.VisualElementsManifist.xml.old”)
  • Close all the open Explorer windows and repeat the first step: Right click the Chrome tile on the Windows 10 Start menu and choose “More” > “Open file location”
  • Right click the Chrome shortcut and choose “Cut”
  • Minimise the window and “Paste” the shortcut on your Desktop
  • Right click the new Chrome shortcut on your Desktop and choose “Cut”
  • Maximise the window again and “Paste” the shortcut back to the folder where you copied it from

On-screen keyboard pops up

by | Jul 22, 2019 | How to, Learn, Windows

The on-screen keyboard seems to be misbehaving on a growing number of Windows 10 desktop PCs. It appears to be due to a inconsistency between its “new” and traditional Control Panel settings. The on-screen keyboard is switched off in Windows 10’s “new” settings, but enabled in the Control Panel at the same time. To resolve the issue:

 

  • Right click the Start menu
  • Click Control Panel
  • Change the view to “Small icons” (top right)
  • Click Ease of Access Centre
  • Click Use the computer without a mouse or keyboard
  • Un-check Use On-Screen Keyboard
  • Click OK
