If you see 'imp' it's not me.

After latest update:
1. MS nuked the soothing login screen I had configured to NEVER be changed.
It featured a weathered circular wood deck/platform.
MS claims its tool (windows spotlight) retains every image over time in
a single directory; said directory has 87 files dating back 1+ years, but
the one I had locked down ain't there.)

Oh well.

Disabling the service named "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" is a winner.
- Launch services.msc via/using the Start | Run mechanism.
- Stop the service
- Disable the service

This hasn't solved Win10 losing wifi connectivity, now SEVERAL fucking times a day.

- oh well.
(BTW, the only way I have found to reconnect is a reboot)

Not a router issue?

My Netgear router is only 2 or 3 years old. It's supposed to
automatically detect and download available updates.
My old Toshiba laptop running MS Vista Home has NEVER lost wifi connectivity with my router.
My suspicion is MS has done a completely shit job of backward compatibility.
Even more bizarre is the lack of a wifi adapter reset tool, which would avoid
rebooting. (Pretty sure I've mentioned this lack before itt)

Try other devices with the WIFI. It could be your card going. I had that happen on my laptop about 6 months ago and about 3 weeks ago the memory went kaput.

Prepare for a potentially toast computer soon. Back everything up.

MondoVman · 1st September 2017, 03:09 AM

Ok, thanks, will consider.
(I've been stuck in a logic/reasoning trap caused by no evidence of wifi data errors plus
the wifi always auto-connecting and working well immediately after a reboot.)

Do you have enough ethernets?

Zeluvia · 1st September 2017, 04:46 AM

1. Enter Control Panel.
2. Click Network and Internet.
3. Click Network and Sharing Center.
4. Click Change adapter settings
5. Click WiFi (double click

)
6. Click Properties.
7. Click Configure.
8. Click Power Management.
9. Make sure that "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" isn't checked.

Yep, has been unchecked forever (I think)

It's a winner in that upon rebooting, my pc 'seems to' complete its
ever-new, 5-to-10 minute duration, 100% Disk usage state sooner than
before.

MondoVman · 12th July 2018, 04:06 AM

LOL! Me thinks an infected jpg viewed with Chrome was able to
lock the internal state of 3 keys: the WINDOWS key and both ALT keys.

Bizarre behavior:
- Primarily, the vast majority of keyboard keys were inert
- Double left-clicking a desktop shortcut to a txt file brought up
the file's properties instead of opening the file in notepad.

Was somehow able to left-click my way to a Microsoft site with
an 800 help number, which was answered. Wow, a Hindu Indian
accented guy spent 30 minutes helping me ... for free. yay!
- Even the ease-of-use software/screen keyboard was thwarted

tl;dr - Rebooting my laptop resolved the problem.

ffejrxx · 12th July 2018, 08:58 AM

sometimes tapping the 'stuck' key fixes it

are you sure that was real ms support, not the remote access thing they do
