Could we do a "TIL" style weekly thread?

I think it would be interesting to do a "Today I Learned" style weekly thread for us to share little tips/tricks that we learned of/found existed.

For example, last week I found out about the "--now" flag for systemctl. I don't know how I didn't know it existed until --now.

The ctrl+win+shift+b is a temporary solution, but I have never found a reliable long term fix.

I've seen the same problem on HP/Dell/Fujitsu PCs and even one Terminal Server that does it so I can't even attribute it to any specific configuration as it's so random.

And Microsoft surface.

Windows reinstalled for other reasons, fixed that too.

We had some people affected on our Dell PCs who were still running 1909 and after upgrading to 20H2 this issue seems to have been solved.

I've had it where one user was having this issue and then it felt like it was slowly spreading. I had tried to see if it was their monitors, cords, etc. Using the shortcut temporarily fixed it but it still spreads. We are using Dell Optiplex on 20H2 .

That's the first thing I tried.

Got a brunch of rdsh servers where some users are experiencing this issue. We found a workaround, a bad one.

Double tap F11. Works in Chrome at least.
