Sigh... went to bed last night with a big Microsoft update running. Woke up, and it was in a loop stating it could not be installed, and to reboot...
I do not know if the update fried the hard drive, or the hard drive was going and fried the update...
In any case, I'm resetting the system, with a spare but sadly smaller hard drive.
Thankfully, I actually lost very little indeed due to having a good backup system in place that I follow. I did lose one directory, and a couple unread fan fiction stories and a couple doujin I''ll have to redownload.
The annoying thing was I also discovered that a recent Windows update cut off my notebooks from my NAS devices (had to be fairly recent, I know I was using them not that far back)... I was getting a message from windows that the direct drive mapping would not work due to the service ued having been disabled... I needed to enable a different service on the NAS devices themselves by remote into them and manipulate them that way. With that Windows recognizes them again.
In resetting windows 10 this time around, I noticed Microsoft moved a few of the privacy settings around and added more.
