I’ve been running WSJT-X on a 32 bit Win10 Pro laptop (4 GB RAM, 150 GB SSD and 
Core2 duo 2.24 GHz processor) since version 1.8.  Even after transitioning to 
version 2, I’d had no particular problems with the software.  But, for some 
reason, since just after ARRL Field Day (which went pretty well BTW), both FT8 
and FT4 decoding has become erratic.  No particular pattern…just long periods 
of audible/waterfall indications of signals but no decodes..then spurts of 
decodes for several cycles…then more non-decodes.  Received signals in the 
35-40 db range on the WSJT-X display, and tweaking of all PC interface levels 
seems to make no difference in the problem.  Only other symptom I am aware of 
is random fractional second dropouts of audio in tune mode (roughly every 4-10 
seconds on a continuous tune) even into a dummy load (no RFI factor).  No 
unusual background application activity evident to  me in the Task Manager.

A full Windows refresh…and reloading of WSJT-X and HRD (talking to a Kenwood 
TS-480HX through a SignaLink interface set at around 9 o’clock on both transmit 
and receive levels)…but the problem continues (including the transmit 
dropouts). 

My question is whether reloading with a 64 bit version of Win10 and other 
software might get more reliable decoding again?

Thanks, Joe and team, for all your VERY hard work!!
