Computer Problems
Diagnostic is worthless.
Turn off modem and computer. Check with Xfinity. Wifi back on.
Seconds later, Wifi is gone. Unplug again.
Turn back on, computer will not turn on. It only beeps.
Modem is working.
Will post when able.
Update
About one and a half hours later. The system recovery program, Bitlocker Recovery, is a success. It took forever to log into Microsoft to find what is called a Recovery Key, 24 characters long! It took 3 or 4 tries to enter that code for the recovery to take place.
If you have Bitlocker Recovery, then I suggest you write down your recovery key code someplace safe.
Oh my gosh, I just tried to add a friend to my blog list, and it was wonky for me. I added her blog, but her title doesn't show up, so I'll have to go back and try again later. I don't think it's just you, my friend. My power went out today also at my home. Back on again now. Computer problems, no fun. I hope you get yours fixed.

Sheri,
DeleteGlitches abound. I hope the ones you experience of fixed.
What a hassle it is to find the things required for a program to work. Microsoft is not troubleshooter user friendly
I'm glad you succeeded. So frustrating when everything you try needs ten more steps.
ReplyDeleteLiz,
DeleteUser friendly seems to have a new tech meaning every year.
We’ve had similar problems. Such a nuisance.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteI think I read last week there was a lot of glitches on the Internet.
I hope all is well now.
So glad your problem was finally solved. I feel so helpless with computer issues. They can be very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
DeleteComputer system problems are a nightmare for sure.
Oh no! I live in fear that something goes wrong with my computer (or the tv) and I have to undertake attempting repairs on my own. RC is hopeless when it comes to that sort of thing so it will all be on me. Glad you're managing!
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteMy first thought if the system was in need of a tech repair, it might be cheaper to buy a new one.
Ugh. Sounds miserable, May. You're right about Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteEasy directions is a term that I have the feeling Microsoft misses out on.
Oh no I am so computer illiterate. When I hear byte I think folks are talking about food. LOL Glad you were able to figure out your problem. Janice
ReplyDeleteJanice,
DeleteI am still feeling grateful a week later. lol
Sorry to read about the computer glitches hanging you up for a while, but yeah to you for figuring it all out. I have never heard of Bitlocker Recovery and wonder if it is unique to Microsoft. That said, I do have a list of passwords and thankfully Apple Password Manager keeps track of them as well for us, at times, forgetful folks.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice,
DeleteManager programs scare me.
I'm old fashion, the father away I give control over things I can do computer wise, the farther away it will be
to fix things.
That does not sound pleasant at all! Hope you get it working and are back online soon!
ReplyDeleteJim & Barb,
DeleteFixing the problem took entering the code over 4 times. Each time the program changed the numbers I entered. Very weird.
