I'll give it another shot today. Last night windows 10 did some massive updates and it took the computer about 15 minutes to "update" all the stuff. Might try an early save as well. (I save often, as I die just as often in the game....)

Far as I know the antivirus and firewall programs are unchanged. The updates to avast and comodo where a few days prior.

I'll play around with it and see if I can nail this.
