I kept batting zero with DesktopOK, but tried Icon Shepherd and it worked very well. Thanks to everyone who helped in this discussion. Cheers!

Had to uninstall DesktopOK. It just kept repeating the strange behavior. However, on a happier note, I'd also seen Icon Shepherd recommended. It is doing the job. Of course, if W10 would stop...

Greetings Ztruker and thank you so much for such a speedy reply and especially for the screenshots. I will try again and follow your steps. I will post back after trying again (with the more problem...

Out of shear frustration after trying other suggestions, I tried Desktop OK. Every time I use it, it moves the Norton icon to a different location. I've even deleted the tiny "saved" file that is...

Greetings Ken. Wanted you to know I haven't forgotten this. The roof project is wearing on. Plus the garden. Plus the yard. Lots of tasks and not enough me. But the weather will turn and I'll...

Yaay! Thank you SO much for several things to try. First I'll read over the Activation Troubleshooter link. Regardless if anything in there works for this, it will be good education

Then I...

Hi Ken. You have made me feel so good to keep slogging along with me in this nightmare.

When the MS employee was on phone with me when I tried to get my w10 license reactivated, he had me remove...

yes, finally did finish. That was the last day/time that computer had bare functionality. After that the computer acted like it does when an update comes through and it rebooted. (Again - have...

Aha! More homework. I will endeavor to tackle those suggestions. I'm going to be successful on this if it kills me. I'll report back when I've either successfully done those or get too confused...

Greetings Ken. I had completed all of the suggestions and was getting nowhere, but at least the machine was operable. Then W10 updates for June started rolling in on 6/1/20. More on 6/2 and on...

Thank you Ken. I will make the screen saver timeout change. I will also work my way thru the Dynabook driver updates and will do it slowly so I can keep notes on what worked if something does. ...

Thank you. Ken is continuing to come up with good stuff to try and I am willing to try anything. Plus I learn more every time I try something new. If we ever overcome this, I'll be sure to post to...

External monitors disconnected right now. I also "rolled back" the Intel Display Driver to the latest version listed in Dynabook rather than the mystery one listed in my DM. Also did some digging...

Greetings Brink. Wanted to touch base and not have you think I was being impolite. Have been receiving extensive help from Caledon Ken and thought I had better keep my problem in that thread area...

Hello. After I hit Post last evening, I was looking at drivers in Device Manager for the 2 external monitors and the Toshiba monitor. The 2 externals are Dell (on that site now seeing if they have...

Greetings. While we were in between threads and in between my work tasks, I did download the Nvidia software, only to have it tell me at the end of a very long process that I don't have the...

Greetings Ken and thank you for reaching out to me.

1. Every MS chat CSR had me check all the drivers and the BIOS, even when I had just done so. I can say with confidence that they are all the...

Yes, Sleep is available under Start > Power > (options). I will read over the "Sleep Computer in W10" suggestion, but wanted to reply right away and say THANK YOU for responding so quickly. After I...

Currently I have W10 Home Ver 1909, OS build 18363.836. Prior to the Dec 2019 update, two things worked perfectly: I could cause my laptop to enter Sleep using Start > Power > Sleep; and I had used...

I hope this is me posting an Introduction Thread. I have been wandering around inside W10F trying to figure out how to create a new post on my specific problem - not reply to other people's posts,...

I used the command and results were same as your second screenshot. Wondering if that points to anything in particular in relation to my problem. My W10 Home laptop stopped being able to enter...

I've been registered for quite a long time but never posted. Searching now for info on writing a Task to put computer to sleep at specified time. A Task that actually works. After writing one with...
