Screen freezing up on Flex 6500

I have problem with waterfall screen freezing up only during second week of the month. The receiver still works ok as well as the transmitter but the waterfall freezes up and then returns to normal numerous times. I noticed this problem with current version 1.7.3 and previous versions of the software on my Flex 6500. It appears that on second week of the month when my computer is downloading latest Microsoft updates aka patches for my Windows 7 64 bit operating system. Now after all the updates are installed and computer is re-booted the problem disappears and waterfall screen works great with no issues. Has anyone else noticed this issue? The computer tower has I-5 760 CPU @2.8GHZ, with 8 GB of RAM, and ATI Radeon HD 5670 video card . Sam WA6QGH

    Hi Sam,
    I had the same problem with my Win10. Since there is limited control over the updates, I just check for updates each time I run the computer. This gives me a chance to update before I operate.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
