Thanks. I tried it like you suggested but it wouldn’t connect WiFi so couldn’t check RFU. Network option was checked before I rebooted.

Sigh.

Sorry I’m bothering you with this. I’m sure you have better things to do.

hey, if you're willing to chase it down i have no prob trying to help.... try this:

> launch msconfig again, as mentioned earlier
> click the services tab
check the "hide all microsoft services" box at the bottom
click the "disable all" button, then apply
> click the general tab
click the "selective startup" radio button
uncheck the box labeled "load startup items", then apply

reboot system, navigate to rfu and give it a try. when you're done:

> launch msconfig again while in selective startup mode
> under the general tab, make sure the "normal startup" radio button is clicked. if not, click it and reboot to return to normal.

i just use windows defender, and run malwarebytes, eset and superantispyware from time to time, never have any probs, i.e. i don't have an antivirus running in the background other than windows defender.


I don't use an antivirus.

When I peruse the site on work PC, and come across the non working link issue, I make a note of which page it was and then later on I'll jump on my phone and see what I missed.... Fortunately for me, activity here is pretty light during east coast morning/afternoon so I don't miss much.
Its not perfect, but cant live without my RFU!!!


This is what I do exactly too lol... My work's VPN blocks Twitter :evil2:

I think I want to give up. I can see tweets fine in firefox again. Lmao. Windows updated last night. Still same issue in edge tho.

I am just gonna label the firefox icon as RFU and incept myself into thinking its the RFU app.
