No, it didn’t. I was so stressed out I just gave up and went to bed. This morning, I turned the computer on, signed in and it took well over 5 minutes for my desktop (icons, etc) to appear.

I ran some tests which said error report taking up too much disk space and also windows update program needs to be repaired and I had the option of uninstalling and reinstalling all updates.

Not sure I want to do that since I have to CD that came with this computer and I cannot revert back to WIN 8.1.

I downloaded the advanced care program but my computer refuses to allow the program to work. It is blocked and I am unable to unblock it.

Thanks will check it out.

Some of my issues have been resolved with the exception of the Windows Update which does not work and I still get the stub bad data but only when I attempt to initially click on virus findings in Windows Defender. I was able to download new definitions today which I had not been able to do in two days.

Which "it" are you referring to, here?

(That was two and a half years ago, things have changed.)

I'm interested in knowing what works for you. Take a moment and tell me, I'd appreciate that.

That makes sense, but sticking with Windows operating system would not. I would have a tablet with Android, probably.
