My girlfriend's laptop touchpad died upon update. After stopping her panic I had to enable using arrow keys for the cursor movement (getting to this menu without using said cursor was interesting..) and then roll back the "upgrade" using arrow keys.
- pyromine 10y agoWhy was getting to the menu interesting, keyboard navigation in windows is a pretty well established paradigm, it may take marginally longer than you're used to but there are many people who primarily use their computer with the keyboard only.

- bruceboughton 10y agoBecause, like Google with Android, Microsoft enable this behaviour. They deserve to take the flak.
