It seems that pulling out the memory stick and re-seating it has corrected the problem. The box has been up and running all day, of course I've already bought a new Dell and have two more memory sticks on the way.
Perhaps re-seating the memory stick is the equivalent to smacking it on the side from back in the day?
The question I always is what were you doing just prior to having the problem? That will often help you find a solution. Sometimes the problem is just a hic-cup and a reboot can resolve the problem
Yeah, where did you last see your keys. This was first thing Tuesday morning and it was fine on Monday. No clue but it seems fine now and I've got a brand new back up. Given that my back up was 5 years old it's probably wise to have a new one. Thanks again.
Just got a new LT with W10S. And, all the crapware, which I want to clean up, along with the Start Up menue. I hawe little knowledge. I sure as heck don't know anything about a program from it's name. I suspect "Candy Crush" is something not useful to a man in late 70s. I'd also like to lose the S from W10. Please point me in some direction.
Candy Crush is a game. The type of game that's sometimes called a casual game not a more hardcore gamer type of game.
As for the S -

Switching out of S mode in Windows
Windows 10 Windows 11
Windows 10 in S mode is designed for security and performance, exclusively running apps from the Microsoft Store. If you want to install an app that isn't available in the Microsoft Store, you'll need to switch out of S mode. Switching out of S mode is one-way. If you make the switch, you won't be able to go back to Windows 10 in S mode. There's no charge to switch out of S mode.
On your PC running Windows 10 in S mode, open Settings > Update & Security > Activation.
In the Switch to Windows 10 Home or Switch to Windows 10 Pro section, select Go to the Store. (If you also see an "Upgrade your edition of Windows" section, be careful not to click the "Go to the Store" link that appears there.)
On the Switch out of S mode (or similar)page that appears in the Microsoft Store, select the Get button. After you see a confirmation message on the page, you'll be able to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store.
