I'm still running v20.2 Uma, and despite all of the "Updates" that have come through nothing has fixed this, and I just haven't had time to do a...
I closed out the other one.
Regarding reinstalling... this OS was installed on a brand new harddrive back in November so really I shouldn't be having any problems but none the less I am...
