What did I do to mess up my desktop?
« on: September 02, 2018, 10:30:41 PM »
No mater what I try, I can not get my desktop to look like it was yesterday.
What did I do?
How do I put it back to normal?
Screen Shot attached.  :)

Looks like you turned on Tablet Mode to me. It's under Settings->System->Tablet mode.

There is also a "Tablet Mode" button in the Action Center.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

You are right.
And it does not work. It is stuck om tablet mode.

This desktop PC has two user accounts.
On the other account the tablet mode toggles back and forth.
But on the user I use more often, it does not toggle.

At this point I am willing to consider rebuilding the user account.  :-\

On second thunk, I will not do anything.

Maybe.  :-\
