Updates! What a bloody nightmare they are. When Windows says that it has or will update then it's usually a question of what doesn't work now or what it's knackered up to virtually bring the machine to a standstill?
Youtube is a pain these days. I have to delete cookies and history data before I start using it or at some point it'll just freeze the whole system & I have to do a hard shutdown with the off button. Everything else always works fine.
I suspect that it's that sort of problem but not too difficult to start a new thread each month as soon as I remember.
