Thanks to everyone who replied. Unfortunately, all solutions suggested, in the end didn't work. Finally I had to take my PC to the guy I usually go to. It turned out that the problem wasn't with my...

I tried that ... set the indicator to "Best performance" and it does seem to have worked. I've restarted the Pc three times without a problem. So, thanks for that.

The other problem was that it...

Ok, I'll give that a try.

Thanks.

Under Settings>Power & sleep there's a sub-heading "Performance and Energy" and underneath this there's a sliding scale between "Best energy savings" and "Best performance". At the moment...

Recently my PC (which is running Windows 10) has started switching itself off after a short time of not being used (ie, an hour or so). Or perhaps I should say that the PC seems to be still running...

The link looks really promising. Thank you.

My Samsung Galaxy J5 keeps losing its wifi connection with my router. My PC is keeping its connection without problem. I've tried all the usual things ... rebooting the router etc and I've even done...

I think I tried it from both GooglePlay and the Playstore.

I've downloaded and installed Skype for Android onto my Tesco Hudl tablet but when I try to open it, it just gives me the message "Skype is not working". I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several...

Will do. Thank you.

That's very helpful. I'll check out those links. Thank you.

Thanks very much for your advice. It's the earphones I want rather than the headphones. I'll check out the link you've posted.

I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017), which came with earbuds. I can't get away with them at all as they keep falling out of my ears. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good wireless...

Sorry guys, I've now managed to solve my problem. Through the Help section I discovered that at the right-hand end of the Taskbar there's an icon that looks like a rectangular speech bubble and if...

My OS is Windows 10.

Today my wireless keyboard stopped working. I messed about in Settings and it started to work again, although I don't know what I did.

But now when I start my PC and it...

I looked at the linuxmint links but it seems that the download is 2GB, which is too big for a CD and needs a DVD, which I don't have. If I did download to a DVD and used it to boot up would that mean...

Ok, thanks. But my first reaction on reading your post is 'sounds a bit too technical for me'. But I'll check out the links you've given me and see what I can do. Thanks.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Last night, the computer seemed to be a lot worse, just freezing all the time. It seems to be better today i.e. no megafreeze for 10 or 15 minutes, although when...

Since I disabled MS VWMA the problems I have been having have only got worse, so I guess I need to re-enable it(?)

Thanks again for your help. I've just disabled the MS VWMA so I'll see if it cures the problem and report back.

I've just run Malwarebytes now and it said everything was error free, so I guess it must have removed whatever was giving me the errors before.

I've also just looked at the Event Viewer and it...

Thanks Midknyte. Actually I wasn't even aware that I had Slim Cleaner. I had something called CCleaner and I've now uninstalled that. I've just done a search for Slim Cleaner and it only appears in...

The text file from Malwarebytes doesn't reveal much to me. Can anyone tell me if there's anything there that would account for the problems I'm having. And should I have quarantined these errors?...

Malwarebytes showed 9 threats and I've attached the text file here. Thanks.

Ah, sorry I misunderstood. But I restarted the router this morning from a different socket on the router but unfortunately it's made no difference. I don't have a different cable to try.
