Jeff and other,
I cannot stay on the side about this one.
These kind of issue happen to me also, many times.
Also, I wish to share following as it may help many, also save them the cost of a new PC (I did buy another one)
I have been using a dedicated HP I5 laptop for about 4 years solely for the HAM station, no Office, e-mails etc..., and have been doing regular housekeeping such as defrag etc..
Along the years it was slower and slower. I tried everything such as cleaning up, check for virus etc.. and for the past few months it was often reaching 100% processor load when running SatPC32 and HDSDR. Fed-up I bought a new PC but also decided to re-initialise everything re-install W10 and all the software I use on the old one.
The result is astonishing now running SatPC32, HDSDR, FoxTelem, FUNcube Dashboard, Soundmodems, Online forwarder, BktTime etc… simultaneously and the processor load is generally <30%.
Seems that these updates (very often breaking things) are also adding other issues and slowing down the machine over time. I am not an IT guy and have no clue about the real reasons just guessing that all these updates are the cause, may be someone can explain.

A very recent Windoze update hosed parts of my computer to the point that I had to roll it back to a previous Restore Point and then bypass the update and go directory to a newer version of Win 10. I'm still finding issues with all of that 3 weeks later! Microsoft screwed us all with forced updates - now WHEN they screw up an update - we the customers are the ones that get hosed!!!

Richard,
Two things to check:
- After my last Win 10 upgrade the Network type was changed from
Private to Public with all kinds of mischief 2. Windows security has been deciding a number of different ham apps are viruses or trojans so check Windows Security quarantine folder to see is WJT-x has been moved all or in part to that file.
Just a couple of suggestions,
John

Recently my Windows 10 computer went through an upgrade and ever since
then
I cannot get WSJT-X to talk via CAT to my 9700. I've tried the obvious things like unplugigng the USB cable and plugging it back in again and no dice. I even reinstalled WSJT-X because I found that HRD was working just fine. I'm at a loss on this. Any suggestions out there?
