just a little heads up to everybody woke up this morning to a windows update screen .let it run while i went out to the supermarket came back fired up the computer and guess what No internet, checked my router, checked the cables and ran diagnostics
Nothing all the computer could tell me was that i had a problem
I knew it was not the router as my tablet was working ok so a little bit of on line investigation led me to try to delete the update on completion shut the computer down for a restart and wonder of wonders internet fired up again
Surely Microsoft must do some kind of trials before they release these update,s or are we just the guinea pigs sorting there problems for them
