Windows 10 Problem: Cursor Gone after Fixing Issues

Click For Summary
After Windows 10 identifies and fixes issues on a computer, users may encounter a situation where the cursor disappears, making it difficult to restart the system. In such cases, the Windows key can be used to access the dashboard, allowing navigation to the Restart options using the keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+Del and Ctrl+Shift+Esc are also recommended for troubleshooting and accessing task management features. The discussion humorously references the nostalgia of using keyboard commands, likening it to a classic sci-fi character, while also touching on the idea of technological advancements like transparent aluminum.

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
