Well might have been with you but my pc croaked!!
I guess I am in a Maintenance/Fix Mode... So my old PC bit the biscuit.. CPU toast... (a decade old-an old gen 4..) so getting a new pc..more later...
OK Update:
Well a new PC now in hand... Had to put back a bit cause I didn't want to burst 4-grand!! and needed a new machine immediately!! So went with a MSI System-PC. Intel® Core™ i7 processor, (14 GEN), I7-14700KF running at 5.6mhz, with NVidia Ge Force 4070.. 32 gb ram/ddr5, cooler, 2TB-nvme, etc.. .. just finished adding my 4-ssd from the old PC.. and added the 6tb external at usb3.2 that I use backup/storage ... so far so good.. all is working perfect so far... (That is after I disabled sync to Onedrive!!).. then yanked Norton trial version OUT!! And fixed or removed the rest of the crap.. Damn bloatware!! (As far as monitors, I previously ran 6 but the newer boards don't support dual gpu.. so can't slave my old GPU to run the 6 monitors so reduced to the one gpu(4070) running 4 fours monitors which will be fine..(after I get used to it).. so now just re-setting everything up on this new machine which takes some time... but a couple of days will do it to un-bloat/tweak windows 11 as I learn it (My old pc was win120),, then keep going to get all the rest done.... (I was originally thinking of going to an I9-14900K but price was another 500 for that cpu whcih required a more expensive mobo for almost no speed increase..) so went with a MSI-I7 board and the I7-14700KF CPU.. )... anyways should be up to speed in a couple of days I hope with the new machine setup..
Best regards to all for a safe and Healthy New Year..
