If it weren't for the loading of strange websites, it would be normal, except for the constant disconnects of the internet or wi-fi, or whatever. It actually acts like it knows to avoid any MS website that will benefit me for my system or browser.
In another of my posts, I mentioned something about an install agent. I couldn't download it using the laptop's browser, but did it from my tower and brought it to the laptop. I haven't executedd it. By chance, is it an updater? I think it was posted yesterday, to find it by date.
