Thanks. I thought I’d got it sorted yesterday. I did a shut down just to see, and the computer shut down like it used to. But several hours later I shut down and the computer hung again. I manually shut down then rebooted into Safe Mode. Then I restarted in Safe Mode and the computer booted. I was able to shut down normally from there.
This morning, when I booted as normal my IP wouldn’t open, in fact trying to open the IP crashed the computer. I manually shut down I and booted again to try a system restore but then realised any activity in normal mode crashed the computer. I then tried system restore in Safe Mode, that went fine and am now crossing fingers thumbs and holding breath. Am typing this from a laptop.
Will update
