Sorry for the strange post, but I can't think of a great way to pithily describe what's happening. I'll preface this by saying that I absolutely despise Windows 8 so far and have been trying to figure out a way to get it off my computer. No luck so far. Maybe if I had a touchscreen it would be different, but I don't.
Anyways, the problem.....
By far the most annoying thing happening to me right now (besides having to go on google to look up how to do simple things like restart my computer) is that when I'm browsing the internet the computer will suddenly switch back to the "desktop" (not the desktop app, but the main tile screen). I have no idea why it is doing this, but it is horrifically inconvenient when you're trying to do work in the browser. Sometimes it will happen 3, 4, 5 times in a row and I can't figure out what I'm doing. Is there something I'm doing wrong with the mouse? Am I accidentally clicking something? I have no idea and it's coming to the point where I'm about to try and sell this computer so I can get one with Windows 7.
TL; DR...when I'm online the computer seemingly randomly minimizes my browser and takes me back to the tile screen. Please help.
