Rick, I have switched from Private Internet Access vpn to Norton Security vpn. That seems to be working.

Wow, that is all way beyond me. I understand a little of it, and I am impressed.

I live in a rural area, no one close enough to listen in to my router/wifi. But my unencrypted email goes through...

Thank you, spunk. The link you gave is for importing the cert & key. What I'm looking for is how to export the cert and key, that is, to create a new PFX file. But maybe my old one is sufficient, as...

I have removed PIA and am now using Norton 360 vpn. My internet connection seems stable.

Whatever the limits of any vpn, with the traveling I do and access to wifi in all sorts of places, like...

I'm embarrassed to admit that with aging, I seem to be forgetting some things that used to be easy. I need help!

I have a home laptop with Windows 10 Pro, ver 22h2. It has a folder on D: called...

I live in rural north central Washington State, USA. My connection is fibre optic to a radio link to my house, and a small dish radio connection to my router. Max speed is 6 Mbps down, 2 Mbps up.

As it turns out, for the past hour or two, my internet connection has been looking good, as evidenced by the concentric quarter circles. So none of these tests were run with the globe icon showing....

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th Gen laptop. Four years old. Windows 10 Pro 22H2. The problem started a month or so ago. Lenovo advanced hardware diagnostics shows no problems with wifi. It does say:...

Thanks, Paul.

I closed my browser and Thunderbird. Then I disabled wifi. Finally, I flushed the dns cache. Did this twice, each time getting a success message.

It made no difference.

Samuria, thanks for the the suggestion about DNS. Do you think this could be causing my issue while at the same time, my wife's Dell has no issue using exactly the same DNS from the same LAN?

Windows 10 Pro 2004 19041_1165 (but this goes back more than a year, so in earlier Windows versions as well)

Note: I usually use wifi, but switching to an ethernet connection from my laptop to...

I explained this in my original post.

I think in the end I did something similar to get it going. It was a little more complicated because the drive letters got mixed up....

Yes, it was a typo. The last line should have been:
Vol 3 F System 300 MB healthy hidden

I'll edit the post with the error.

That is exactly the link where I downloaded a new Windows setup onto a USB stick today. Right now I am downloading an ISO file to burn to a DVD and to try that.

It’s been “corrupt/missing file” or just a generic error. It says hit F8 or restart, but restarting just gets the same error.

When I run Dispart and then List Disk, I get:
Disk 0 Online 931 GB

List Vol gives me:
Vol 0 D [no label] 300gb healthy
Vol 1 C Data 616gb healthy
Vol 2 E...

Yep. The USB drive comes first and all other boot possibilities are disabled. If I even put the hard drive in as second, then I'll just get an error screen

I've tried to use this thread to fix my laptop that cannot boot. I can't get a Windows 10 Setup USB stick to boot, either. I can boot from a Macrium Rescue Media USB stick that uses WinPE. But I...

This is looking more and more hopeless. I downloaded Windows 10 onto a USB stick. When I tried to boot, I get a screen with Kmode Exception Not Handled. So, no way even to get into the Rescue...

This thread appears to come closest to my problem, although it's not a BSOD exactly. The message about Winload.efi is similar to my message about Winload.exe.

Cabin has its own power and meter head from a different line than my house.

Ironically, I have been trying since last year to get an electrician to run a single circuit from my house`s generator...

I think that a signal strength of -65 to -70 db, with it varying by 10 db during the day, is inadequate for a stable Zoom connection.

Your point about the gigabit switch, however, is well taken....

Thanks, Jack. Those are identical to my settings.

I'm now looking at a NETGEAR Orbi Pro - AC3000 Tri-band Router (SRK60). Price is pretty steep at $300 with one remote. But I've just started my...

I have tried inSSIder and Acrylic Wifi Home.

inSSIDer reports signal strength in db. Both wifi bands are around -60 db, with the 5G band wavering between 0 and 3 db lower (weaker) than 2.5 gb. ...
