Issue seems to be closed, and I appreciate the
help........but the problem was that what one usually sees
in clicking P&M or Power Options.......refused to oen
up *anything*. But Restarting brought it back.

Restarting is always required to start some services in Windows. Even some
updates requires reboot of machine. That is how windows work. For example,
if you change anything in folder options, you are required to restart the
Windows Explorer for changes to take effect. So this is not anything new.

That sentence about Windows Explorer is just not right. Try showing/not
showing hidden files and folders in the Folder Options dialog - the change
"takes" straight away without even having to Refresh, let alone restart
Windows Explorer.

You haven't tried: Tools, Folder Options, View (this is all from Windows
Explorer)

Now click on Reset All folders
and now click on: Apply to all folders.

Let us know what you alert messages you get.

I rest my case.

No, I didn't try that; I didn't have to. You said, "if you change anything
in folder options, you are required to restart the Windows Explorer for
changes to take effect". What I *did* try was setting hidden files/folders
to not show (I always set them to show) via Tools > Folder Options. This is
most definitely a "change...in folder options" as you describe, yet the
change took place immediately without any need to "restart the Windows
Explorer", contrary to what you asserted.

What *was* your case?
