I fixed it using Andre Da Costa's remedy in here ==>> https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...a-ceb43608e307

Anyway, if it should happen to you try Andre's remedy - there are various other 'fixes' out there that involve VBS scripts and the like -- they look dodgy to me.

But why did it get deactivated?
Insufficient information. I assume you did A/V and malware scans?

I've never had that happen on any Windows version.

My complaint with Win10 is periodic BSODs. The ones I see are Kernel Security Failure and DCP Watchdog Violation. The latter is particularly annoying. My main application is Firefox, and the BSOD tends to occur when a Firefox operation takes longer than whatever Windows thinks is a reasonable time. Since you are the mercy of what you are attempting to connect to in how long things take, I'd love to find a way to increase the timeout value.

I have MS Edge installed here and haven't seen an issue when using it, but Edge is nowhere near ready to replace FF. (The biggest lack is extensions. They exist, but are still thin on the ground, and the only one I have installed is the Edge port of uBlock Origin.
