Oh but back on topic.....I was having weird things go on with my internet....the icon in the task bar was the wired connection instead of the wireless connection. My wired connection is not even connected. I thought I'd just unplug the USB wireless adapter and man....bluescreen of death on Win 10 -- I haven't seen anything like that in ages. It tried to reboot after doing a dump and then said 'missing operating system' -- if that doesn't make your heart skip a beat nothing will.....I manually shut it down with the power button, turned it back on and it went through a couple of updating and rebooting cycles....and then finally came up normally and appears to be working with the exception that I am having issues on some (not all!) pages loading slowly - images mostly. But the speed tests tell me all upload/download is good.

I'm thinking this is Comcast as I've seen it before and we had a big snowstorm here last night. And that may have even caused the original problem of the PC switching from wireless to wired --- or trying to.

And the second thing I'm never going to do again is to unplug the wireless USB adapter...even though I used to have to do that all the time under Win 7 when it would lock up. I've not had the issue with win 10.

I'll see if it clears up (the slow loading) tomorrow and go from there.

Carry on...
