Have not had chance yet to try the steps you suggested, but I intend to at some point.

 

Sorry for the delay in replying, and I apologise.  It is not that your help is unappreciated.

 

It is not a laptop.

 

There is no physical damage to it.

Well, I have still not got around to performing the steps (Win + V, and Win + B) that you suggested.

 

may do in future.

 

However, everything appears normal enough.   The Secure Boot Keys / TPM went ahead OK, fortunately (I confirmed this in Windows Security).  No issues with that, although I was very concerned earlier this year.

 

At the moment, as everything seems to be normal and nothing appears to be amiss, I seem to think that it is just a normal occasional sign.  I am very apprehensive about messing around with things I don't understand, and make the situation worse, as we still need this PC.

 

Thank you for your support
