Internet disconnects
My Windows 11 machine sometimes can't see wi-fi connections - even though they are there. I have managed to fix this in the past by restoring windows but I'm not sure if this is the best idea. I wonder if this is a hardware issue and maybe I need a new laptop. Any ideas? Thanks in advance?

I'm immediately met with a prompt to enter master password (rather than biometrics - and a hard reset of the phone doesn't change that this time).

So when is software ok to install now?
Seemingly direct from the main website too. What can you even trust these days then? And yes I'm aware that apparently it was only an issue for a relatively small window but still, if you downloaded within that window then it's an issue I guess. I think perhaps if it ain't broke then don't fix it, or rather if you're…

Ran hard disk sentinel… On the face of it it appears to have never been used. Is that likely or is there a way of 'winding back the clock' so that it appears this way but in…
