David, I echo what Bob says. I would run the update again and update to the latest 1903. You always want the latest update. Then go from there. I can vouch for the FREE version of CCLEANER. I have an IT friend who takes care of all three PCs I have in the shack and that is what he uses. He runs it periodically as I install and uninstall software. Run the 1903 update, sit back, let it do its thing and don't touch anything unless it asks you. I have updated all my PCs and my wife's to version 1903 with no problems thankfully. After the update all my applications ran as before. I didn't have to make adjustments to anything. You can turn off the automatic update feature in Windows Settings. If you need more help, I'm sure the collective here can get you going. Hope you get it resolved soon.

Then go to the Windows Update application and run it. Take all the defaults and let it "do its thing". A failed update will leave lots of fragments and crap in the computer. Also I suggest, as I do, run an application that gets rid of trash, broken links, and such. And that same application has the ability to clean the computer Registry. Usually there is lots of "crap" left over from updates, software installs, and software uninstalls. My application is the paid version but you can use the FREE version of CCLEANER for this activity. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 7/20/2019 9:27 AM, David F.
