Thanks to all for the tips. I have a lot to consider. (I really didn't want to go down the Powershell rabbit hole).

I use Node Red and Amazon Alexa. Works great together. However, at random times my Alexa nodes stop working and I get a message to log on to 192.168.1.55:3456 and enter my Amazon logon credentials.

I don't like unexplained warnings.
I do a lot of Arduino programming in C++, and when I get a compiler warning, I fix it. What is a warning now, could easily be an error in a later version of the...

Of course Google Search shows nothing. It doesn't happen with every shutdown, maybe one in ten times. I make sure everything is shut down, and even checked Task Manager to see if something running...

Any idea what a "DropWindow" is?
No matter if I click on either button, or just wait for about 15 seconds, Windows shuts down normally.
(Win10 V21H1)

WinKey left-right does nothing here, but the suggestion by DalChina to use AltDrag worked fine.

I have three monitors on my Win 10 system. On one of them I have a program window that is slightly off-screen (top).
Normally, I can shift-right-click on the...

No, not the IDE. Which is why the problem was unnoticed for days or weeks. Being on a public network stops the OTA feature where I upload the code to the target device over WiFi.

Love your tagline. I hope that isn't me....

I am used to seeing a firehose of information in a log file on Ubuntu, but ProcMon is the Niagra of data.

Thanks for the input. You may be on to something, I'll try putting a short delay between the subroutine calls.

No, it's going directly to Microsoft.

Windows won't let me use the same IP for different shares. I forget the exact error. I fix this with multiple names in my hosts file:

Mine both end with 3V66T.
They have both been running for more than a year, so I guess that if Microsoft had a problem with it, I would have heard something by now.

I just did an inventory of my Windows keys because I am selling an old laptop with a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and I wanted to include the original Windows CD with it.
