Laptop help!

My think pad has decided to not work. I use chrome as my browser. Chrome just sits there like my ex wife. I’ve done a system restore three times.

Any ideas?

Sorry Joe, if it's anything like your ex wife, the news is not good.

See my post about Chrome being slow yesterday. I uninstalled, then re-installed and Chrome is working fine again.

Install Opera instead. While you're at it you may consider ditching Microsoft altogether and installing Linux Mint.

Great.

Windows 10 has been doing some weirdly big updates recently, and maybe your laptop just needed to get its mojo back.

For us at work since the push to "upgrade" to Win 10 we have laptops that disconnect from the wifi and then won't automatically reconnect. You have to manually connect. Odd.

Also, if I had my druthers, I would not do ANY business with a company that requires IE. Come on people, we are in the 2000's now.
