Well, removing Avast (to include using the Avast tool) did not fix the problem. Im sure tomorrow I can look forward to loosing money re-installing an OS form scratch… AGAIN >:(

Good thing Im on a real fiber connection and not XFinity’s wanna be WAN transmissions. It takes MUCH monger to install than to download anything at this point. No, its not google… its a company that has been an ISP since 1993 and still doing it right with ZERO customer cancellations… 8)

Can Avast even claim that one :-X ?

I have had to download the Windows updates individualy and install them (when MSFT allowed).

Semper Fidelis XMission!
