I do have another problem that may have started the entire avalanche of problems. I received a replacement power charger from Best Buy and my battery has been showing "plugged, but not charging." It doesn't go higher than 46%, I've tried some of the recommended fixes but it is still not working properly.

This may have something to do with the pushing of Microsoft Edge. That was one of the first nuisance pop-ups. It kept claiming that Mozilla was a power hog. I wonder if it's trying to prove a point?
