Blue screen and its not the sunny sky.... happy ending

 I was going to tell you about a short trip to Ayr....



Just when you are settled and things are going good it all falls apart well that's what happened PC wise over the last few weeks. I had a skype meeting for Thursday in the meantime an update from Windows which had an effect on my Skype. the sound was wrong and sometimes not working I tried plug in phones bluetooth phones and the Laptop speakers. But to no avail Next was to bring out the old PC which I keep updated for emergencies like this. It gets all the updates Monthly.

So I fire it up and then when i go from sound to video on the Skype ...i get the blue screen.

 Today I am back with Current machine working fine after some sound adjustments ..and keep the blue tooth set away from the machine.

 The old machine was different.

"Unexpected kernel mode trap"..Blue screen.
So what now ...Because I have been updating monthly I am able to carry out a "fresh start" which is a new installation of Windows direct from the Website to the old machine.

That means no corrupt files from before being carried forward.
It also means  reinstalling all apps and software including anti virus

It takes a while but I was able to carry out other tasks while monitoring the progress.

This morning we are back again with skype working on both machines.

Advice
Always take the updates even if there can be challenges. 
Consider reinstalling Windows 10 with a fresh version including all the updates. Sometimes works out quicker.
Take back ups and use cloud drives as extra backups.

Ayr ...Maybe tomorrow.
