[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Strange Windows 10 problems

[Drew King]

Ted,

I think the fastest way to get back to a solid machine would be to 
reload Windows. You'll spend more time trying to fix it. Back up your 
data and software license keys. You can do the reinstallation from 
inside the Settings app. Choose the option to keep your personal files. 
Don't install Windows 11 on top of a broken Windows 10 unless you're 
simply interested in doing a test install.

Is your machine new enough that it qualifies to run Windows 11? If so, I 
would suggest going that route after reinstalling Windows 10. Simply 
upgrade before reinstalling any software.

This website has the pc check tool to verify if you qualify for Windows 
11. Look for
PC Health Check app 
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11#pchealthcheck> under 
system requirements.
