Bloody Windows (still)

I've previously let off steam about the problems I have had with
networking my two computer, how first Corsair could seel Dell but not
vice versa, or Dell could see Corsair but not the other way around, or
neither could see the other and what I did with the controls I knew
about could make much difference. Well, a week ago I got that fixed
when Dell was updated to 2004. Corsair could at least see Dell.

And then there was computer sleep and shut down. A long time ago it
worked perfectly. Then it wouldn't. Then it would. For the last
several months it wouldn't. None of this was my doing. It just kept
changing at the whim of Microsoft's latest update.

Other things have come and gone, like very slow keyboard response
(measured in seconds) on Dell following bootup. But I got that fixed.

But now Corsair has been updated to 2004, build 19041.388, the same
build as Dell. Now the slow key response has returned to Dell, the
rudimentary networking has vanished, but Corsair now sleeps. All these
magical changes with human intervention.

I hope to get minimal networking back by resetting the network on both
machines. But I wonder what is coming next?
