Looks like this did the trick! Thank you so much! Do you think this is something I’ll need to revisit? I’m curious as to what caused things to go south in the first place.

Again, thank you both so much for helping here. Huge relief!

Windows 10 just has some wonky settings, and too much telemetry. The batch file disabled useless crap…

If you have this issue again just re run the batch file. Or start a new thread if it does not help. I am glad to be of service, tell a friend or two about the forum.

Marked as solved for you.
