I managed to fix this once using the troubleshooter - only time in ANY
version of Windows it has ever achieved anything!

It's come back, strikes me a reinstall is the easiest solution, it's a
laptop used as a remote control to my main machine so no data and very few
apps on it.

Any thoughts?

If it has nothing important on it, why bother updating at all?

OK, I won't pretend to know how real the threat is. I just can't help
but suspect it would be more efficient to implement network security
measures.
