The size of my Windows controls icons in the main app and in an open message are the same size, so there is some custom setting at work with your TB install. It looks like you have made some customizations in the appearance of TB so maybe you made some change that needs to be undone. Try...

I use the Darko add-on along with "System theme - auto". This combination does a reasonable job of simulating dark theme everywhere but some received emails seem to have override controls and show up with white background and black text. Here is a sample new email

This diatribe has degraded into udder nonsense, and the topic has been milked to death. Forget about backing it up, just kill the beast and enjoy some burgers.

Maybe or maybe not. With MR (do not know about others) the PC can be used while the backup is running as it uses VSS. Yes there could be performance issue if the normal working activities require serious processor or drive resources.

Do you have OneDrive on any other device? You would need to signout of all instances, and log into OneDrive from a browser and delete the folder there.

My HP Laptop is powered on 24 hours a day and is opened early in the morning. Almost every day at 8:00 am a command window flashes for a second. There have been some occasions when the PC was turned off that the command window appears some time after it was booted. I originally thought that it...
