Just a thought that as there are some computer experts on here they
might be able to help. I am running W10 and when using the edge browser the register between the cursor position and the left hand mouse button is out. In other words to get a link to work the cursor on the screen has to be about 1 inch above the link for the left button to activate the link. Works fine in all other programs (eg Firefox chrome IE) so I assume that it is something to do with edge so I am not that bothered, but if anyone does know a quick fix (other than install Linux Mint - that is already on the other machine) it might be worth a try. -- CB |

Thanks for the tip. I looked in the forums and found others with the same problem (but no solution). Looks like I will just have to leave edge alone until they sort it out. -- CB |

Well at least you know that it is a 'known problem'. I have not bothered much with edge myself. -- Michael Chare |

![]() The blind can't see the targeted ads being pushed at them as a result of Windows 10's personal data slurping, which means there's no money in it for Microsoft or the ad-flingers, so they couldn't give a toss about you, hence the lack of accessibility features. Cynical, but that's the way it is. With Windows 10, YOU are the product. En el artículo , Brian Gaff escribió: This is a well known problem already. Indeed the blind find that there is no accessibility API in Edge at all as yet, so it cannot be used. -- (\_/) (='.'=) Bunny says: Windows 10? Nein danke! (")_(") |

Update graphics drivers. Having used W10 on quite a number of computers, and Edge on most of them, I have not experienced the issue you report. However I have come across the need to update graphics drivers on a lot of computers that have been upgraded to W10. -- Rod |

When I upgraded W7 to W10 on my Dell Vostro laptop it was just left with the regular MS driver, and poor resolution. Device manager found a better driver. -- Michael Chare |

Some machines have looked not so good at first boot into W10, but improved either a few minutes later, or after next boot. Something like that certainly happened on my current personal W10 machine. It is a slightly-old MacBook Pro. Dell site might also help - if the machine is classed as supporting W10. -- Rod |

I find it incredibly confusing unless you are lucky and their automatic processes happen to work. Regularly try to decide whether I hate HP's support site more than Dell's, or the other way around. -- Rod |
