Thanks for the input. I found a window that said, "stop one drive" so I did that. However, before I triggered that I tried to log into my msn account and msn said, not available now. may be due to plugins that affect internet traffic which is what you mentioned in your p.s. I don't know what to do at this point. I also deleted all 4500 photo files off my one drive folder - it took them off my system which confuses me as I thought that was cloud stuff. Win 10 a bit too busy for my taste. I restored the photos to my hard drive and now they jump around instead of presenting a thumbnail view of picture. PIA!!
