Thanks for letting us know, Mike.

Everything working well so far, Bob.

I want what Microsoft promised. I wanted to believe that, with Windows 10, we were going to get a fast, stable, plug-in capable, feature-rich new web browser. Once called Project Spartan (a much cooler name than what it ended up with), Edge is now months past it’s official delivery date and I’m still tapping my fingers on my desk – waiting. Call me a die-hard, or a fan-boy, but I’ve kept trudging along with Edge. Unfortunately, it looks like I’m just about the only one. Anytime I raise an issue I’ve found with Edge (and, the problems have been numerous and often), I’m lambasted on the social networks. Folks suggest that I’m probably the only one still using Edge and that most people have already moved on. I know they’re half-joking – but I also have to admit to myself they’re only half-joking. The only sure thing about Edge is that, sometime during the day, it will fail. And, it usually fails often. I wait for each cumulative update for Windows 10, hoping that Microsoft has finally, finally given Edge the attention customers deserve, but more and more it seems that Edge was a bad decision Microsoft may be distancing itself from. And, that plug-in capability Microsoft promised? Uh… I say all that, to say this: After today, we will be left with only Internet Explorer 11 and Edge. Today marks the day when IE8, IE9, and IE10 reach end of support – meaning after today’s Patch Tuesday, security updates will cease for these Internet Explorer versions. Even though IE11 has been a godsend to help when Edge decides to delete all my bookmarked favorites, it’s still not the most popular web browser among consumer-types. According to web stats, Google’s Chrome is surging in market share and analysts expect it to completely overtake any of Microsoft’s web browsers in the near future. Enterprises are seen as the only anchor for Microsoft’s browser share and that’s only for Internet Explorer. It surely was not Microsoft’s intent, but the company has somehow forgotten what led to it building its own web browser in the first place and has begun teasing Chrome with the crown. Google could add insult to injury by renaming Chrome to Netscape and bringing the browser wars full circle. What about you? Have you moved on or are you still giving Edge (and Microsoft) a chance? With IE8, IE9, and IE10 reaching end of life, which browser will you choose? Source: winsupersite

Welcome to Free PC Help Forum, Bruce. My daughter gets the fake Microsoft calls all of the time.

Thanks for letting us know, Mike.

This explains a lot. My Dell Preferred Customer Account was hacked. I'm playing hell with Dell about it. You'd think that I would be able to settle this satisfactorily since I am a subcontractor for Dell but NO! I still am jumping through hoops.:real_anger:

Have you tried the USB wireless adapter yet, Mike?

Yes, that's a low profile card but I don't think the problem stems from the video card, Mike.

Is the NIC onboard or is it a separate card, Mike?

You can view the event viewer in safe mode, Mike. I would also reset Internet Explorer settings to default. It could be an add on or an extension causing problems. Have you tried using firefox?

Microsoft is planning to make LTE access a little easier soon, thanks to its own SIM card. The software giant is currently testing a cellular data app that lets Windows 10 devices connect to various mobile network operators without a contract. The cellular data app has been published to the company’s Windows Store, but Microsoft has not yet announced its plans for the service. The app is designed to work on Windows 10 and “requires a Microsoft SIM card,” according to the listing. It’s not immediately clear which markets Microsoft plans to launch its SIM card in, and the pricing of the cellular data. Microsoft is planning to sell plans through the Windows Store, so the data will be tied to a Microsoft Account. Depending on availability, Microsoft could be planning to create its own mobile virtual networks to allow Windows 10 users to connect to partner carriers. The lack of contracts suggests Microsoft may need to create its own network with partners, but the company could also offer access in a similar method to Apple's own SIM card. We’ve reached out to Microsoft for more information on its mysterious cellular data app, and we’ll update you accordingly. Source: theverge

Have you checked the event viewer for errors, Mike?

Unbelievable! They are getting so sneaky.....

Is the VGA port damaged?

Can you download Speccy and check the temps, Mike? https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download/standard

Have you checked the power options to see how they are set, Mike?

Your article actually had more information than this one does, Pete.

Me too because I use IE 11 with Windows 7.
