Be well...
Glad you got it fixed. By the way, I have an HP I7 desktop with Windows 11 and it is fast. I only restart my computer about once a week or so, but I never use the sleep mode. I just let the screen go blank automatically after a few minutes. I think this is safe as long as you need to use a PIN to go back to the Windows home screen. Also, I store most data files, like music, on the D drive or on an external drive, not on the C drive. I have the Windows security setting on "Medium High" not "High". You may want to consider subscribing to Microsoft 365 for about 70 dollars per year. It will give you access to Microsoft Office on several devices, and it will also give you 1TB of cloud storage using OneDrive. OneDrive can be set up to automatically upload and/or update files that you change to the cloud that you can access from any internet device. I have about 500GB of music stored on the OneDrive cloud.
