Many thanks, Ronni! Most of what you suggested I a had already done, to no avail. The one thing fresh was getting rid of ALL the running apps and there was a stack of them! That would seem to be a sensible bit of daily maintenance. Sleep is obviously very different from ShutDown. Will keep a close watch but I think a big tick for problem solved is in order. Best wishes and thanks again Severin
