A weird Windows 10 issue I have not seen before.

Yesterday morning I started as normal but there was no internet. Bah Humbug!  I use my Rocket Stick to get morning email and head to a client. 4:00 pm there was still no internet.

I got home, reset the modem and internet came back. That was about 7:00 pm. I restarted everything: Modem again, router, wireless, printer and both computers.

The printer worked on my Desktop but my laptop said "out of paper" No, it was not. Standard troubleshooting steps did not resolve the issue. So I did a Driver Repair (Programs and Features). I have done this before.

Now here is the weird issue:  Restart (have to) and the display turned upside down!. No tablet controls would fix this. The only fix I could beyond what I did was to restore to the prior point. I did this (20 minutes) and that fixed the display. I spent some time updating software that got lost in the restore and all is well.

But I have not seen anything like this before. New territory.

I'd check to see if your tablet installed any new Windows Update or vendor updates overnight. Might have picked up something buggy that screwed with your drivers.

I think the Printer repair step went wrong.

The laptop was fine; repair printer - weird problem; roll back and fine.

I don't know why the repair went bad but all was well before and all is well now.  

Thanks.
