You bet. And thanks for helping me.

Great to hear simrick is helping with your problem bamashooter. I also found simrick to be very helpful and spot on, and as a result earns a big thumbs up from me! Hope you can get restart working and keep it that way.
I'm very appreciative. Good helpful folks here.
Update: As you saw I stumbled across a work around which worked on 2 operating systems. This afternoon as I was researching on how to temporarily replace my network adapter driver I quickly got bored (I do that often when doing something that I don't know what I'm doing). I did my little modified restart and it worked. I then did a "normal" restart and it worked too. I did a happy dance. I then booted to Linux and let it settle in . I then did a normal restart in Linux and it too worked. Back to Windows and all is well. Now I'll be the first to call bs and that I don't expect it to last. Question: When I initially modified my restarts by first going airplane mode and then restarting, could that have done something within the driver or entire system to correct what appears to have been a problem w/ freezing upon using the restart option during a connected wifi? I reckon not but I'm not real big on coincidences when it comes to computers. Thanks.
Well crapola! All the way back to square one. Must have been X number of coincidences. Game on. I'm now officially pissed. I still think it's related to the adapter, um, just because. Now I shall once again try to research if there are other drivers, albeit older I reckon, that are compatible w/ this adapter. Is there not a tool that would run during restart and capture the moment and cause of "the freeze"?
There is. Pretty cool tool. No related issues (imo). I ran boot log a few times with only a graphics driver having multiple issues not booting. Researched that and it appears to be a common problem. Ran the sfc /scannow 3 consecutive times with no problems found. Thanks for the info.
hmmm.... I realize you're not getting any BSODs from this, but perhaps you might run WhoCrashed and see what's in your dump files (if you have any).
