    Default Computer won't load anything

    I've ran antivirus nothing found. Nothing loads, if I click on Google it's just one eternal egg timer spinning round. The computer is fairly new and good spec so why all this instability ?

    Do a system restore to a date prior to the problem.

    Could be a bit of malware hogging resources.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Are you using Windows, if so which one?

    Right-click (or press and hold) the Start button, and then select Control Panel.

    Search Control Panel for Recovery.

    Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.

    Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.
    Note

    If you’re not seeing any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on. To check, go to the Control Panel, search for Recovery, and then select Recovery > Configure System Restore > Configure and make sure Turn on system protection is selected.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    OK. Might be best to run some anti malware first.

    Try downloading Malwarebytes and running it. It's free here: https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/

    I also use AdwCleaner. Both do similar things, but seem to find different bugs: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewd.../1-adwcleaner/

    They should detect that you are using Windows 10 and give you the right version automatically. Try both and see if the problem has gone. Both are free to use. If not a restore may help.

Before i couldnt get anything to load Computers do my head in ! Wouldn't be surprised if it's daft stuf going on in the background with Windows 10 but who knows

    I've known Windows updates to bugger things up, then they realise there's a problem and you get a fix in the next update.
