Unfortunately not, but then again maybe. My PC is a 'company' machine. The support folks don't really try to 'fix' things, they just resort to "wiping and re-installing". I tried to fend them off for a few days, but, everything I tried from this forum simply lead to 'other' problems. I finally gave in and they wiped my machine (saving my data first) and installed Win 10. All was good for a week or so, but then today some kind of zero-day exploit security patch was pushed out to everyone in the company, and... it killed me. I am not in a continuous loop of "Automatic Repair Mode" (which then fails, and thus re-loops). I will do some research on this one, but it appears they are going to have to re-build me yet another pc...
Thanks anyway...
