    Hi @ Wilders

    I am using Windows 10 (Still getting used to it) and find one particular aspect irritating and try as I might I have not found a solution from the internet.

    When I open an application (it applies to all apps on Desktop) from my Desktop icons and subsequently shut it down it leaves that application icon highlighted (with focus). The problem with this is that if I press Return for example to bring my PC out of sleep mode it opens the highlighted application.

    Yes I know I can click on the task bar to remove highlighting, but surely there must be a setting to remove this highlighting/focus?

    Any help gratefully received

    Thanks

    Terry
