hi folks. I had been busy for a few days with some personal family matters that needed to be resolved, also there was an cable internet outage on my street for several hours which affected my family and a relative who lives a few houses near us - no internet access for a while until the technicians repaired the internet line outside
perhaps this problem should be posted in the Microsoft Community forums and the OP (bobjoe) should probably discuss about it there instead of just here since it seems that this kind of "uncommon" hardware compatibility problem has not been reported to MS so far. sign up for an MS account and mention the SAFE_OS problem to Microsoft in their forums and see if Microsoft will respond to the situation (though at this point it's pretty much a longshot if MS will issue a fix for that in a form of a cumulative update).
I'm beginning to realize that because Microsoft released the v1809 version of Win10 prematurely (in early 10/2018 and caused a bunch of problems including deleting user data files upon upgrading), it seemed to choke or gag on many old laptop processors (most notably Intel Celeron Ms and Pentium Ms of any kind - both Banias and Dothan series including the 740 OP mentioned). Not even the newly released KB4493509 cumulative security update will make v1809 work with these old laptop CPUs, which mean that MS has not figured out for several months how to make recent win10 versions work (and probably never will)
