Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to solve this problem, and this solution worked like a charm.

Hi Leno.
Sorry, I don’t know why this setting change corrects
the problem. Unfortunately it seems to do this every
time there is an update, and you have to keep changing
this setting back.
I can only imagine there are a lot of people out there
thinking their computer isn’t working properly!

Thats because your an idiot who likes to think he knows about computers. Then again everyone needs a hobby… Learn about computers before you blog about them…

Thanks for that Steven. I’m just happy to have helped Leno.
Perhaps you would like to answer the question yourself?
