Thanks for your note.  I did a factory reset, and since I was using chrome as my major browser once I logged into that I got all my useful information and bookmarks back.  I think because I disabled Internet Explorer at the time Windows 10 was downloaded, the disabled program  caused the problem.  This time I didn't bother.  I just don't use IE (or Microsoft edge as it is called now).  On another note I did run diagnostics and all came back without error.    Thanks again.
History: 1T hard drive, 12 GB Ram, 3.6 processor. I have had the computer for about 1.5 months. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 (which I actually like). Recently it started acting sketchy and I though maybe it needed rebooting. On rebooting it immediately went to the Dell diagnostics and self help screen. You go through the various suggestions and then restart. On restart it goes through the diagnostics cycle, bringing me back to the blue self help page. As I write this it is being factory reset. My questions: Why would I need to factory reset on such a new computer; then should I trust this computer again?
