I was still trying to figure out what was wrong with my wifi and remembered that in the dozens of Linus Tech Tips videos that I have watched, he always mentions his community forum, "Which you should totally join."
I created an account and went to create a thread asking for help, but there was a "Before you ask for help" thread with all kinds of rules. I think that I spent an hour looking up all of the information they requested. I have used computers for thirty years, but I needed to look up how to look up half of it.
Of course, it asked about drivers. I used the Lenovo utility to catch up a couple of weeks ago, but ran it again, and found a BIOS update. With the exception of last night when it seemed like nothing wanted to load, it has been great, and when I tried to watch a lecture, it ran at double speed just fine.
Hopefully this holds up.
Today I noticed something that I did not recognize in Task Manager and looked it up. Apparently it was a standard Windows "Feature." I also discovered Settings > Privacy > Background, which showed thirty-six background "Features," most of which begged to be disabled. I may never notice a difference, but I like to know what is running on my computer, and to get rid of things that I do not need.
