Also there are applications that will remove scraps of updates, faulty
files, excessive Registry entries and such. Sounds like time to do
some in-depth computer house cleaning. Also, a virus or malware will
consume resources and really bog down a computer basically doing nothing.
I use a paid subscription of Malwaybytes although there is a free
version. Another application I use on a regular basis is CCLeaner,
free version. This gets rid of abandoned files and one can scrub the
Register for remnants of applications installation processes and those
removed that might remain from applications that have been removed. Of
course, there are others applications which do about the same and I'm
sure others will have their preferences.

Bill,
Have you run the Windows Task Manager to see if the cpu, disk and/or memory
is being heavily utilized; stuck at 100% or thereabouts on a regular basis?

Computer has a serial board with two ports. One for the K3 (P3) and one

Pulled a two month old backup SSD out of the safe. No go - did not work
then either.
I am sure the computer is busy doing something - which I don't know about
- causing a resource hog delay.
This is why 99% of the time, I am running Linux Mint. But, the number of
programs that really are good for ham radio and work on Linux is small.
Most of the stuff is garbage. So I keep Windows around.
I did find an Apple driver update - took it out and noticed no difference.
This is becoming one of those things that is taking more time than it is
worth. I think this is how MS wear their customers down. Long live Linux!
