So I changed the Ethernet from public to private today using method 5. Thank you for posting this as it was the solution to my problem

Thank you, I think that will help a lot. I'm away for the evening and will try this in the morning. I'm using my laptop and tried the Powershell approach on the laptop and it worked fine.

I'm running Windows 11 Pro with the very very latest updates. Just ran them to try to fix this problem. I connect my desktop PC via ethernet to my ASUS router. Been running fine. I moved the PC to another room along with the router. Connected everything back up and now the ethernet is...

This one isn't cheap... But I used it professionally for many years to search out program code that needed to be updated and changed in a Java environment across multiple projects. Search & Replace worked flawlessly and saved me hours and hours of work. I was the only developer willing to...

I recently bought a Windows 11 Pro key from Stack Social for my wife's new Dell laptop. I had the issue from Microsoft saying that the key was already used. I used the telephone option to activate the code and it activated with no problem. I've had this happen with other codes in the past and...

suatcini54: Thank you very much for your continued interest in my problem. As to the CMOS battery, when I had the system open to swap out the boot SSD I did take out the CMOS battery. I installed a fresh battery at that time just to be sure. I did test the new battery at 3.x V before...

UPDATE: So....... I'm sorry to report ......... the machine is still freezing with no particular pattern. The reversion to an earlier NVidia driver has not solved the issue. It goes maybe 10 days and freezes. Then it may freeze two days in a row. Then goes days and then freezes. I can only...

suatcini54: I'm now on day 6 of the reverted Nvidia driver. I haven't had one freeze up this week. I'm becoming optimistic that putting back the older driver has corrected the problem Thanks to everyone who posted suggestions here. This really is a great place to get help.

Hmmmm... I'm not familiar with how to get to an older version of the driver. I'm going to look into that to see if it solves my problem. Thanks for that information., Well, it was as simple as a google search. I how have 551.61 from Feb 15, 2024 installed and we'll see how that goes. Thanks...

suatcini54: Thank you for that suggestion. Will do. FWIW...... I have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti that I installed in August of 2022. I use Nvidia's GeForce Experience app to identify and install driver updates. I use the Studio version of the drivers as I use Adobe Photoshop and it needs...

UPDATE: So yesterday I replaced my Western Digital SN850X 2tb with a like WD SN850X. All went very smoothly. While the machine was open I checked my CMOS battery too. The machine ran fine all day. This morning I awoke to a frozen system. It was running just fine. Making all the right...

UPDATE: I agree with Technomage that I think it is a hardware problem with my system. Something new in my machine that I hadn't considered is my C: boot drive. I replaced my 1tb WD SN850X with a 2tb WD SN850X last month. I'm considering that the problem started after that? I have a new SSD...

Technomage: I understand all that you say. I worked IT from 1979 - 2014. Varying responsibilities... My 1st PC was 1983 the original IBM with 2 5/14" floppy disks and no hard drive. Been building them ever since. Mostly I was a software developer for $$$ and PCs for hobby. I do pull out...

Technomagic: Well I ran memtest86 for 10 hours... 4 passes of 12 tests.. All my memory passed. That being the good news, I still have to open up the PC and test the bios battery. Still puzzling the freezing of the PC. Another suggestion from wiganken I have a wired keyboard. But my mouse...

TechnoMage: I've been suspecting it might be my memory. I'm loath to open it up and such as my machine is in a corner between my desk and wall and a bookcase... But alas I believe you are onto something and that will be my next effort. Even though the case & system weight upwards of 50-60...
