Sue Nethercott When I fired the computer up after an update on Friday, the browsers were doing a lot worse, and I had to switch to my slow old portable for work. So I spent yesterday transferring stuff to it as a backup. Today I had a go at your instructions. The troubleshooter found nothing.
Scannow gave the message: “Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.”
Sue Nethercott Britain is no longer part of the EU, and still keep asking me if I’ll accept cookies under the GDPR? And why don’t many of them use a cookie to remember that I have already said OK?

Sue Nethercott After a recent power cut, Microsoft Chrome stopped working. Either pages take minutes to load, do not load at all, or I keep getting the message, “Page not responding”. I tried resetting it and then reinstalling it without success. Then I installed Microsoft Edge and it was the same. Microsoft Chrome remembers lots of things (autofill, passwords, cookie preferences etc), will translate pages for me without needing an add-in, and I need 2 browsers to keep my different roles separate. How do I get it to work again?

Fred Krueger: There seem to be a lot of financial advisers trying to sell fear. They all write adviser letters and want you to sign up for a price. From what you said recently, I am guessing that everyone that is receiving some sort of remuneration for advice is required to be registered or licensed by or with the SEC. Is that correct?
Tony Pizza: Sometimes after a startup, if I use my browser or Word, things hang up and I see “Not Responsive”. After a minute it goes away, but may repeat. Then everything works OK. My PC only has 4 GB ram, but once it gets past the delays, it works fine even with multiple apps and web pages open. What’s it doing, I don’t see any major use on Task Manager? Defender? Update?
