Angela, what was the EZ answer? You left it out... Thank you

Didn't work for me. Whatever my problem was, it was a cascade with more issues coming up daily. Ultimately, I reinstalled Windows which solve the problem.

My Windows became so unusable that I reinstalled. Since this was the build that came with my PC, I couldn't find the license key and had buy a license with install media. I bought a Pro license since that was what was on the PC. A costly fix but now I have a key I can refer back to if I need it and I have the install media. Fortunately, this was a new PC, and I hadn't fully transferred all of my data or apps, but it could be a weeks long effort to fully rebuild if you go this route. My PC has been working perfectly now for weeks with no issues. As an FYI, since I don't have a CD drive on the PC, I chose to purchase the Windows License on USB media. If you go this route, note that you can download the media, purchase with CD media, or purchase with USB media.
