I dont use AI Suite or Fanspeeed. Just read online that one of the ASUS services stopped working, if you install this update

1444451 2018-01-11 18:26:00 Could the fact that my lappie, that worked fine last weekend, is now dead have anything to do with this, or just a happy coincidence?

Apparently I have no OS installed, and when I press F2 to run the HP diagnostics I have no hard drive either.

How it can go from 100% happy last Sunday to a paperweight in 5 days is beyond me.

It may not boot. I dont think a hdd can disappear altogether because of it

MS will also block you from updating Windows, if the AV program isn't set up properly

Fine by me, I dont use one

1444454 2018-01-11 18:40:00 hmmm.....according to HP on-line help this weekend I need to take the back off the lappie (which is unchartered territory) and re-seat the HD. And go from there.

I'm pretty sure that will end well.
