Still Waters Posted December 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2016 An update to Windows software has caused problems for personal computer users trying to connect to the internet. Several European internet service providers (ISPs) have highlighted the problem, which can strike regardless of the type of router box or the particular ISP in use. Virgin Media has issued detailed advice to customers on how to reconnect. Microsoft has also offered guidance to those experiencing difficulties. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38301548 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyades Posted December 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Whoua!, this morning started out PC, had work on it for 15 minutes, then, it crashed completely. So I rebooted in without error format, then did a ''recuperation with a prior date'', hope it will stand for a while! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been not its fault and been Windows all along! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
