Hi Arny!

I've got your drift - this looks like another rainy Monday exercise.
I'll try it before switching browsers as per Clive's suggestion.

I presume it's worth trying the LMS uninstall/reinstall first before the
Windows 10 update uninstall/reinstall, even though it will obviously
involve a full re-index of my 6,500+ albums? That takes me about 3 hours
under LMS version 7.7.6 running on a 256GB SSD drive in my NAS - the
music files are on 3 x 4TB Western Digital Red HD's running in RAID 0
for maximum read performance although you still have latency with
non-SSD drives (don't worry, I have separate multiple backups of the
music on USB Seagate 4TB HD's, although these take 24 hours to re-load,
so fingers crossed on the RAID 0 array not falling over!). I'm sure that
the indexing would be quicker if I installed Michael's latest LMS
version but since I usually sleep more than 3 hours it's not really a
bottleneck normally. I have some soldering to get on with anyway!

Thanks for your insight.

Dave :)
