@GavinS.Yancey You can't know how much value an answer has when it's taken down before others can even see it. And just because some moderator doesn't think there's value, doesn't mean it won't help someone else who searches on this issue.

@GavinS.Yancey 1) The problem description wasn't mine, and the description wasn't 100% clear - that poster didn't clearly indicate if the issue was with one window or all of them. My answer is just as valid as others that had different solutions based on their own experiences. 2) Effort doesn't indicate value. And sometimes my shift key doesn't work properly - that's a poor argument to show how much effort I put in, and anyway, low effort in typing doesn't mean I didn't put effort into finding the solution, so there's that.

One last point... you keep glossing over the fact that the chosen answer didn't fix it for everyone, and you accepted other answers. Why did you accept those as answers and not comments if you thought they were not applicable? Why make people read them? Your approach doesn't seem very consistent.

Oh, and how many steps does it take to restart a browser? I don't insult people's intelligence. You seriously wanted me to tell people how to do such basics steps? lol

(continued) Not everyone wants to reboot. Why do you want to hide a reasonable solution? That doesn't encourage contribution. My solution doesn't apply to any particular answer, which is why, structurally, it is a separate answer. If you make assumptions and delete comments, you'll get takers and fewer givers. If that doesn't bother you, keep it up. I'll stop contributing, since as demonstrated here, it's a waste of time. Thanks for listening...

1) You don't know that. 2) The author simply may not =have known the issue is related to only one window. It might even be another single application. 3) You don't know that either, and there is no single "case" since this system isn't just for a single person. If it is, I won't waste time contributing again, because that's useless. 5) As I said, I am not willing to take a sledgehammer approach to every problem and disrupt my work. 6) I disagree, and I have significant experience with Windows, as I am a sysadmin of 40+ years. (continued)

>Given all of the above I concluded that your answer should have (at best) been a comment on the question. Well, I disagree, and I think your decision does a disservice to others. The purpose, correct me if I am wrong, is to provide a repository where users can find solutions to their problems. I fail to see why this system should silence anyone who wishes to add value. I am not some rookie - I've been in the business for over 40 years. I don't chime in on issues I don't know about. I know you wish to eliminate noise, but I hardly think my response to the question is noise.

5) You don't know what steps everyone having this issue will need to follow. Since I didn't wish to restart explorer to test it, and since it didn't solve the issue for everyone, I decided to research further. 6) You don't know that any more than I do. And anyway, I didn't do it for that user's benefit. I did it for everyone else encountering the issue, like I did. (will be continued once more)

1) I didn't think there was a time limit on answering a question, esp when I experienced the same issue, but with a more well-defined cause. 2) It does not say it was happening to all windows. Why would you assume that? 3) Just because an answer was accepted, it doesn't mean it is the correct one. Also there were 7 to 8 answers given. Mine may help someone else. 4) It was temporary for me as well. I merely did more research as to the cause, for me. It may help someone else understand the issue better, and it will lead to less drastic solutions. (will be continued)
