Tim, Thanks for that. Is there a cure or do I have to hunt down a replacement during Black Friday, which now seems to be a two week one day sale. My current one is using Windows 10.1.
The best long term cure is to buy a Mac. I resisted for years and finally gave in 5 years ago. I have never had a lap top last so long as the MacBook Air I bought then. They cost a lot more but last a lot longer.
